Pros

Passionate company culture with excellent product. Plenty of career opportunity. Great employee discount. Emphasis on education. Very cool staff and team environment. Scheduling flexibility.

Cons

Commission environment is not for everyone. You need to be confident and outgoing to do well. More opportunities for growth translates into a job that emphasizes personal responsibility for the individual; which again is not for everyone.

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.
