The Buckle reviews

The biggest con is the poor management. My manger expected employees to practically give up their personal life! I worked in a college town and she only allowed employees off two home games out of eight and if you did get a game off you usuually had to work a morning shift. Second, my manager did not treat their employees very fairly. Favorites worked more hours and the better shifts, reguardless of performance. Also, my manager had no business sense! She would have eight people working on a slow day so everyone would have really low sales. We weren't even meeting our LY for last year. Last, she developed really bad attitudes. When a couple of us turned in our two weeks notices, she started getting onto us for little things when others were making bigger mistakes. She also cut our pay and stripped us of responsibilities Beware of this job, starts of great but looses their luster quickley.

Maybe it was just my story, but the atmosphere was very negative and hostile towards upper management. My manager also "over-managed" teammates to the point where she was a nag. Loss prevention situations were not fun either. Also, in my store my manager was very strict about our image and would review us if we were wearing too much or too little make-up or if she personally did not like our outfit. A couple of my teammates would steal sales as well; and when everyone is on commission, it was very frustrating. I think -- HOPE -- a lot of the problems were specific to my store.
