Pros

Awesome place to get experience. very structured 10-12 week program. There were only two interns in the location i was at so we received a lot of attention. The training was great and learning the product knowledge is fun and interesting. Pay is great plus a commission, i ended up with $14/hour on my good weeks! I loved learning about the inventory, scheduling, working as a team and being a leader simultaneously.

Cons

Sometimes you help some one for 45 minutes or just spend a lot of time with them and they buy nothing, or just sales are slow some days and it is always your fault according to Buckle. When really lots of people shop with the mind set they will spend or not spend, and you cant control it, some days you just get all the wrong people and it is tuff taking the blame and having to explain why it was your own fault when u showed every product category, serviced at fitting room, explained services, sometimes it just seemed a little unrealistic. Lots of product in the store and a lot of straightening near end of night, only like an hour though, we never have to stay very late. All in all it was a great place to work and I really enjoyed it.
