      Pros

      The employee discount is a very good reason to work for buckle. And you have a tiny bit of power/authority.

      Cons

      Long hours,crazy schedule, getting a day off is something that hardly ever happens and then when you do get a day off, you have go to to some dumb meeting co-managers, no training, no communication, my manger just didn't come work work for like two weeks before she quit. Oh and did I mention, the worst pay scale ever! It's impossible to make money.

      Realistic? Absolutely NOT!

      Pros

      Buckle is definitely a great resume builder as far as obtaining personal skills as well as sales experience. I will say however, creating friendships with guest's who really appreciate customer service is a plus. By the end of your short journey at Buckle you will master the art of selling jeans or anything for that matter to a wall. I would like to say the whole magical 40% discount is "amazing", but let's not kid ourselves. Buckle's clothing isn't exactly quality.

      Cons

      Shoving product onto people. Its ironic how Buckle actually prides itself on "Guest Loyalty"...that is nothing but a joke. It is all about the sell. Let's not even get started on their horrible credit card program they offer. It is a must that an employee MUST obtain at least one Buckle card from a "guest" per shift. If you love ruining credit, then never mind that. When applying for this position, do not be fooled. They like to disguise their "job" with a fancy word like "career"...it's quite hilarious. Given the fact that someone can not even have a career making a base pay of close to nothing while pretending to be a robot like Step-ford wife who refuses no for an answer.

      Pros

      Fun & fast paced environment. You get to work side by side with awesome people and leaen about all th current fashion trends. And you get to wear all your super cute clothes to work everyday!

      Cons

      Competitive and demanding at times. (holiday & back to school) you get out what you put in to it. If you want to learn a lot and be committed to the process you'll move up very fast!
