Pros

They offer great benefits and a rewarding commission program that allows you to be competitive and assertive in the workplace. For me, this job was just part-time through college, but it really helped me in my career now as a dental hygienist because of all of the important things I learned about sales and production.

Cons

Downsides to this for me were just the stress of reaching my daily goals so that my pay could be adequate for what I needed through college. If I were unable to reach these goals, I wouldn't get commission, which meant I didn't get paid well. The hourly rate starts out very small because of the commission system and that was my only downfall.

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.
