      Pros

      Fun work environment Flexible schedule Most people you work with are great Really responsive executives Good opportunity’s to move up

      Cons

      Make you push store credit cards, you’re not aloud to take no for an answer, Refuse to get rid of old brands that outdate the store they don’t have a clear direction shopping with us can be very confusing, we have a lot of styles and brands but they are so all over the place it makes shopping really hard You have to be pushy you’re not aloud to let someone browse the store by their self Store managers are usually friends with their area and district managers so they get away with a lot Company is going downhill sales are down in retail period but we are even worse, we are down around 3% every quarter so the company is having a hard time and has taken to some rather questionable practices to keep stock prices up Some people are really hard to deal with, if you don’t have a good store manager you will hate it here

      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.
