Pros

40% off discount was the main thing that attracted me to the job. If you're confident and out going you can easily make $12+/hour during the back to school and christmas season. If you're full time they do offer you benefits such as health insurance, maternity leave, paid vacation, etc. Some advancement opportunities, but, only if management really likes you. Occasional chance to travel to other store and work there. Honestly it's a nice job to have during high school or college, but it can be extremely stressful to work there full time long term.

Cons

LOTS of drama (people taking each others sales). Having to put up with rude customers. Management is extremely pushy and can sometimes make you feel uncomfortable. Constantly pushing our store credit card, to get person information, or even trying to push the customers into spending more. If the store isn't busy or you don't sell a lot you don't really make any money. You have to work mall hours which can mean late nights, and having to work days such as black friday.

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.
