What’s it like to work at Buffalo?

When you work behind the buy counter, you get to sort through SO MUCH amazing fashion, from really beautiful everyday pieces to designer gems to vintage, one-of-a-kind finds. You learn an incredible amount about brands, styles and everything fashion, but the coolest part is what a big impact you have on your store! You literally get to help build the inventory. That might sound a little scary, but it’s super empowering and you have tons of support along the way. 

The cherry on top, of course, is an amazing merch discount! So not only will you basically be going to fashion school, but your closet will be filled to the brim with your finds! 

 Don’t want to work as a buyer? No worries! You still get that sweet merch discount no matter what role you fill at Buffalo! From store administrative assistants to cashiers and floor security professionals, there are all kinds of ways to join the herd and take advantage of the benefits that Buffalo offers!

Ok, but what are the benefits?

Speaking of benefits… there are all kinds of perks to being a Buffalo! Beyond the merch discount, a Buffalo favorite is PTO. You heard right: PAID time off. At Buffalo, you start accruing paid time off from day one! When you plan your next vacay, you can kick back and relax knowing that you’re still raking in cold hard cash.

But that’s not even the best part. When Buffalo does well, so do you! Through their profit-based bonus program, when Buffalo meets profit goals, you’ll get a piece off all that hard work and receive a bonus. What you do with that bonus is up to you, but it’s also never too early to think about saving for your future. Buffalo offers a great 401(k) program that matches contributions up to 10%. That’s free money for you in the future! Buffalo also practices open book financials, so you’ll always know how the company is doing and how close we are to meeting our goals.

Want another little bonus?

When you have great attendance and punctuality, you’ll earn ‘buttons’! These buttons can be cashed in for gift cards to your favorite retailers or used to boost your merch discount for a day if there’s an extra special piece you have your eye on. You can also donate your buttons to your favorite non-profit and join Buffalo in giving back to the community.

Do they offer health insurance?

When you work for Buffalo for an average of at least 20+ hours a week, you qualify for medical insurance! Our flexible and affordable medical coverage is amazing, covering all preventative care and coming along with a handy health reimbursement account. Have furry friends that also need coverage? Well, good news: Buffalo also offers pet insurance. So take advantage meow!

But what’s the vibe?

The culture at Buffalo is all about celebrating individuality and self expression through personal style. Whether you’re a maximalist or a minimalist, you’re welcome at Buffalo! No need to worry about a strict corporate dress code: you can come to work in any aesthetic you like. A love of fashion and secondhand shopping unites us all! 

Buffalo also believes that your love of fashion doesn’t have to be bad for the environment. We give thousands of pieces of clothing a second life everyday by keeping them out of landfills and putting them into the hands of fashion lovers all over the country. But our commitment to sustainability doesn’t stop there. Through our Tokens for Bags® program, we have successfully kept over 19.2 million plastic bags out of the environment and raised over $962,840 for thousands of local charities since 1994. As an employee, you’ll help make Buffalo’s giving back initiatives successful.
