Pros

*Discount. We received 40% on all merchandise. *Company growth. I witness several people relocate or be promoted to other stores. *No managers breathing down your neck. It's commission sales so the pressure is on yourself. *It's just a really cool store to work at.

Cons

*The dress code. Buckle attire head to toe, no sale items, and in season. *Pressure. You're expected to make great sales all day. It's very competitive. *I rarely got to work during the busy periods like weekends. That's where all the money was. Usually the veterans worked that period. *High turnover. You usually don't get a name tag with your name on it until you've been there like a year.

Pros

-Good work-life balance. -Team-building is encouraged. -The experience can vary by location. -Buckle has the potential to have some of the best retail teams, depending on the store. -There are opportunities for growth and career advancement for employees who have supportive leadership.

Cons

Management's willingness to lead, communicate effectively, and support employees is what creates opportunities for growth, but that was not my experience at this location. I felt the work environment was negatively affected by inconsistent communication, a leadership style that felt overly controlling, and discussions about employees that appeared to undermine teamwork and trust. I believe a more respectful, supportive, and collaborative approach to leadership would create a healthier workplace culture and better support both employees and the overall success of the store.
