      Had opportunity to learn some new things, but little opportunity for advancement.

      Pros

      Had some opportunities to learn new technologies. Enjoyed working with most all co-workers.

      Cons

      Lots of negativity at this place. Co-works (and even management) congratulate you when you leave, as it's like you made parole. Most of the good people know not to stick around. They show little respect to their employees. I realized it was bad, but was reminded how bad once I left Bass Pro and found that there still are companies that give their employees trust and respect. Looking back, I was like a beaten dog working at Bass Pro. It took a good year for me to recover and realize that not all companies believe in kicking their dog.

      Pros

      None I could see except the discount but then again that was not even great

      Cons

      They throw you in with a book and tell you to go train yourself. Then when you decide to try to do some training they ask you why you are not out on the floor. They set you up to fail and employees that are below you are allowed to threaten associates and get away with it.

      I heard that it was better than it really was.

      Pros

      Pay is better than minimum wage and holiday pay is great for part-time workers. The discount is great if you shop there. The prices are a little higher than most stores, but there is a wider selection. The pay is decent, especially if you live close. Do not commute. If you work in the Receiving department there are opportunities to become Forklift certified, which looks good on your resume. There are some perks to working in every department and once you are employed it is easier to get an interview with management. There are benefits packages, however, they are not available to part-timers and some cannot afford to pay into it. Management does communicate the Bass Pro news and policies to employees and does keep everyone informed of events and special events.

      Cons

      Promotions will be more highly considered for people who have previous management experience, even from non-Bass Pro Shop employers. It is harder for entry level employees to be promoted with little to no experience in the warehouse/retail industries. Pay raises are very low and are not random. There is one after the 90-days (if you do not work PACE= if you do then you might not get a 90 day) and one every year after that.
