Pros

The company values their guest that use the company credit cards which has good benefits.

Cons

At the location I was at training was a complete joke. I was there for a few months and wasn’t given the proper tools to be the best leader I could be. The store manager was too dependent on the “training” videos. The store manager just assumed everyone on the team knew how to do things correctly. When the store manager gave direction... it was short and unclear, then would get frustrated if it wasn’t done right. The store manager had favorites and didn’t respect the rest of the team. Overall a very bad experience when the company had been talked about so well by others.

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.
