Pros

Opportunity to make good money, flexible hours, ability to move up in the company, meeting new people

Cons

Can be stressful when the store is slow because you're not making money, no guaranteed paycheck, expected to push product onto guests who don't want it, other teammates can be too pushy and take guests from you, forced to call people and your own friends and family in to shop every day. Stressful work nights til 1 a.m. happen two days before a store visit from dm, long hours with a short break frequently happen during busy season or when preparing for visits, leader meetings every Monday morning which is a waste of gas if you don't work until later in the day.

Pros

-Good work-life balance. -Team-building is encouraged. -The experience can vary by location. -Buckle has the potential to have some of the best retail teams, depending on the store. -There are opportunities for growth and career advancement for employees who have supportive leadership.

Cons

Management's willingness to lead, communicate effectively, and support employees is what creates opportunities for growth, but that was not my experience at this location. I felt the work environment was negatively affected by inconsistent communication, a leadership style that felt overly controlling, and discussions about employees that appeared to undermine teamwork and trust. I believe a more respectful, supportive, and collaborative approach to leadership would create a healthier workplace culture and better support both employees and the overall success of the store.
