Pros

It is a great resume builder because people love the brand. You will get great experience too because they really throw you into the fire.

Cons

No room to advance. Pay is terrible and way below industry standard. Upper management will make you do the job of multiple people with no extra compensation. You don't feel appreciated or valued either. Terrible raises. No bonuses. Management makes you feel replaceable

Pros

I enjoyed the atmosphere at Bass. The “outdoors inside” really made it feel nice while working. Most of the customers are pleasant to help and deal with. There is always the customer that is never satisfied but in general the customers that visit Bass Pro are there for the experience and to shop so they are pretty happy.

Cons

This is where the company lacks – overall treatment of its employees. Bass Pro could be sooo much better if they cultivated a family type environment with its people. Sadly, everything seems to be bottom line driven. There’s nothing wrong with trying to make the most money but it can be done with class.

Pros

Fun people to work with. HUGE Brand Recognition....everyone you know or talk to has a Bass Pro story. Awesome discount on purchases in the store.

Cons

The discount is the only financial bennie other than your pay and health insurance. For years the company was mostly run by HR...may have changed by now. If you love NASCAR....you'll love Bass Pro....that's where your raise and bonus are spent. Hard to give employees raises and bonuses when the dumps all that money on Tony Stewart and his team. Incredible turnover...they have had SIX IT VPs in 10 years.
