Pros

Discount (40%) Great pay (if you were good at selling) Great opportunities for interns, employees, management to move up in the company if desired Frequent reviews of performance Cool clothes

Cons

Commission--could be a blessing or a curse. Depending on your personality, commission could be great (if you're outgoing and are good at selling) or could be bad (if you are reserved, other employees with take advantage of the sales opportunities) The customers know that the Buckle is notorious for their employees going after sales like sharks. A lot of customers can be rude because they don't want to be helped by commission-crazy employees. They are very flexible with your schedule, but will work you to death if you let them.

Pros

Buckle focuses its attention on growing their top 20%. They do not waste time and money on pushing those who do not meet the attributes of Buckle's "total performer." This is not only great business; it's great mentoring! Buckle shapes its employees to strive for success at Buckle and in life!

Cons

The downsides = You will be judged on your personality, drive, and sociability. Buckle does not think poorly of those who do not meet these standards; they just perfer these people to be their shoppers and friends.
