Pros

A culture of education, development, and leadership. Buckle is a fun, fast paced environment with great people, especially when it comes to the upper management within the company. Excellent benefits including a matched 401k, life insurance, great health/dental/vision plans, generous employee discount, and lots of additional options even including pet insurance!

Cons

Buckle is a large company with a small company mentality that can be charming, but frustrating at times. Tech and IT issues are rampant and can bog down the effectiveness of stores' ability to function. Upward mobility can be difficult due to longevity of upper management and lack of available positions. Work/life balance is a challenge mainly with the nature of retail management and high turnover. Home office support to stores also leaves much to be desired, especially with stores operating 7 days a week and home office only being available M-F.

Pros

Great company to work for! Awesome clothing plus 40% discount!

Cons

You are expected to have a lot of sales even if you aren't commission based. A little stressful at times. Great music but overtime is a norm.
