Colloquio
I read many of the reviews written here, and I must say that they are spot on. I applied and received the standard email. Instead of calling I waited a few days to see if they would reach out (as I've never been contacted through an email for a job). They called and we set something up. I arrived then was told that the manager would be right with me. So I briefly scanned the store in the meantime. He then pulled me to the back of the sales floor and proceeded to interview me. It lasted about 10-15 minutes. A lot of what he said was just regurgitated banter that I read from these reviews. He hit me with the standard line of they like to "promote from within." This means that you are not hired directly into a position. You'll be a "manager in training" then they will decide if they will promote you upwards to that actual position. Assistant manager is still commissioned based and even though the job posting said it was for either part time or full time, he let me know that many of the leaders work 40+ hours a week.
Overall, I didn't get a good vibe from his demeanor. I think he tried to appear professional but came across as emotionless and cold. His body language was very stiff, his voice was monotoned and he didn't smile once throughout our meeting. Most of what he said I also read throughout glass door reviews so it seemed rehearsed and most importantly it seemed disingenuous. He told me they would email me within 48 hours to let me know if I got the job.
I don't see a job interview as the end-all-be-all. Just as people interview me, I interview them to get a feel for if they are right for me. I'm sure not all Buckle stores are like this, but this one is definitely not for me. I haven't heard back since the interview was earlier this morning but if I was offered the position I would politely decline. Hope this helps!

Interviewing was done on the sales floor, it was quiet other than a customer flirting with an employee for 20 mins while I waited to be interviewed. Store manager was in basic casual, it seemed like a "mom with kids" scenario. Heavy aura to fit in, stereotypical teen, metro sexual, hipster, soccer mom type styles. You aren't going to get hired there unless you wear the brand, and either be an adolescent or have the personality of one. They'll tell you about how long it will take to hear an answer, said it would be a week to sound like they have a ton of applicants, which may be true since the job posting is indefinite, but got a rejection notice in hours after and heavy retail experience seems mundane to hiring manager felt like they were false and fake, pay is low for this position and only good for a part-time job, seems unreliable for full-time.

The first interview went really well but after looking at my resume the manager gave me a choice on if I wanted the assistant manager job or to go for a visual merchandiser position they have open. I love to do that, so I said yeah that would be an even better fit for me. I have many years in merchandising and one year in management. He told me I will need to apply for that position and then come back in for another interview. I went online, the position wasn’t there. I called and he said he needs to add it on there it should only take a day. A week went by, still not there. Called again and he said sorry he’s been busy and will add it. Finally he adds it, I apply, 2 weeks later get call to come in for another interview. Goes well and then another 2 week later after that he calls and tells me that he doesn’t need a merchandiser anymore? He only needs a part time sales associate. I say ok I can do that for now and then later on move up in the company, he says ok awesome he will call me back with more info. He calls a week later and says he’s not sure if the position would be a good fit for me? Tells me to come in and do a test run first and WORK WHILE NOT BEING PAID!? I’m just like are you serious at this point and declined the offer. The whole experience was a waste of my time and he lead me on thinking I was going to get hired, told me to apply for a job that they didn’t need filled and took 2 months with the whole process. Instead of hiring me on for a part time sales associate that I’m way over qualified for, he wanted me to work for free first. Ridiculous.

I applied online and got a phone call to schedule an interview within a couple of weeks. Come the day of, I waited around for about 15 minutes past the scheduled time. The actual interview took no more than 20 minutes and was with two managers. It felt rushed and pointless, I was only asked 2 or 3 actual questions pertaining to the position, everything else was me listening to one of them speak, and asking me about the timeline of my career. He was very quick to take over, and seemed defensive after I explained what my present duties were. The interview ended very abruptly, it seemed unnatural and like it was being timed. I left there being told "we'll call you", and the only thing i learned about the position was that I would be working with other managers to hold others accountable, and that they don't hire "debbie downers". Hands down worst interview experience I've had, but it does match the pattern I've seen while looking at other people's interview experiences.
