Pros

Good discount MOST co workers were fun to work with. nice product good brands and some quaity products Paid weekly

Cons

I was recruited to The Buckle by the store manager. I had a secure job with another Retailer and was promised full time (40+ hours a week), benefits, and placment in their MIT program. After the holiday season my hours were cut to a few days a week. I feel I was mislead by the store manager. If you know somebody in management there and are friends of theirs you are good. If you fill out an app and/or was recruited...BEWARE!!! This job is great for students or people who just want something to do with their time. Do NOT plan on having any kind of career with this company.

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.
