Pros

The discount we got was nice, and some of my coworkers were friendly and helpful while learning the job.

Cons

My entire training process was not informative at all, even a month into the job I would have my coworkers correct me on basic things that I never got taught how to do. Every shift I was forced to push product on customers, regardless if the customer stated they wanted to shop alone without help. And even if you did everything right, you would always get comments from management about things you could have done better. The atmosphere was never encouraging and I never felt like I was good at the job the entire time I worked there.

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.
