Pros

I really did enjoy my co-workers and customers. Commission was easy to reach and make the amount you wanted to with however hard of work you wanted to put into it.

Cons

Store Manager told me every shift I had with her how I didn't look the part. I wasn't selling enough, wasn't wearing the right clothes (all my tops were from the buckle and my jeans were Silvers I had purchased from another store) I couldn't currently fit in the jeans on the sales floor so I was buying time to get to the shape I wanted and hope that fit the products I was selling, I followed dress code. I had many other employees asking for my technic on certain items (watches, sunglasses, etc.) The day she cornered me and asked how the store could help me make better life choices I quit on the spot. I could stand being told I look like trash everyday and then for her to question my personal life choices was too far.

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.
