Pros

Friendly consistent clientele, the mall was nice to work at.

Cons

Terrible management. Manager makes a habit of ‘critiquing’ someone *literally* every 60 seconds. So even if you’re doing something well it’s still not good enough. You will never get trained on how to do many tasks but still shamed for that BY the person that is suppose to train you. Terrible hourly pay, no consistency with schedule, just overall bad place to work.

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.
