Pros

GREAT discount, can make pretty good money, great relationship with co-workers and management

Cons

They want you to spend your hard earned money on BUCKLE clothes only, they want you to shove clothes down people's throat as they try to shop, the only reason my store was really cool was because my store manager (who no longer works for the company) was such a great person. You CAN make good money, but on the same token if its slow, its slow. COMMISSION SUCKS.

Pros

One of the best reasons is that you work commission so you have alot of potential to earn money. Second, is that it is a fun job that allows you to meet alot of people. Third, the discount is great.

Cons

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.
