Pros

Buckle focuses its attention on growing their top 20%. They do not waste time and money on pushing those who do not meet the attributes of Buckle's "total performer." This is not only great business; it's great mentoring! Buckle shapes its employees to strive for success at Buckle and in life!

Cons

The downsides = You will be judged on your personality, drive, and sociability. Buckle does not think poorly of those who do not meet these standards; they just perfer these people to be their shoppers and friends.

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.
