Vantaggi
The management program was a lot of fun. I met a lot of really amazing people and I learned a lot about how to manage a team and a store. I acquired many skills such as: communication,business savvy, recruiting, scheduling, keeping profits high and expenses low. Merchandising, team selling, skill building, coaching people. The pro's of being a store manager were being your own boss and being able to recruit and develop your own team.
Svantaggi
You will work more than you have ever thought was possible. Store managers are expected to work atleast 10 hours a day, 6 days a week. You will hear in your program that Buckle prides themselves on individual development but what they really mean is if you so happen to do well and not lose any business, you will have a job. If you dont make your sales goals, they will find a way to get you out of your position. You will be expected to not have anything else in your life except Buckle. If you want to be a store manager and "own a net profit" expect to be at your store constantly and away from your spouse/family. The compensation is not worth the stress.
