The Buckle reviews

At the location I was at training was a complete joke. I was there for a few months and wasn’t given the proper tools to be the best leader I could be. The store manager was too dependent on the “training” videos. The store manager just assumed everyone on the team knew how to do things correctly. When the store manager gave direction... it was short and unclear, then would get frustrated if it wasn’t done right. The store manager had favorites and didn’t respect the rest of the team. Overall a very bad experience when the company had been talked about so well by others.

The buckle doesn't really have a career path for visual merchandisers. So advancement can be tough unless you want to move into store management or into a role at the home office. I often would be the one working the hardest because I would put a lot of stuff on my plate to get done each day. It is hard though when you find yourself working harder than the store manager or when the store manager is constantly asking me how to do her job. I never received an employee review while working at Buckle. I would ask for one but never received one. Pay rate is also the lowest I have seen and getting a raise is hard. Compliments only go so far until you realize you are not getting paid what you are worth. Teammates can also get lazy and create little messes around the store and in the windows. Store managers can be hard to work with. I went from having a great store manager to a new, lazy store manager. This was a huge problem in my store. Buckle was one of the best jobs that I ever had. Although the pay was low I stuck with it because I was good at my job. With that being said I also had the worst experience I have ever had in my career working at Buckle. Be careful how you review the store manager because chances are they will see it.
