Pros

Good place for students, retirees, and a few people as a real job. The mix of people is good because they have a common interest in the outdoors.

Cons

It's a lot of menial labor and they are behind the times in systems and methods to improve the business. Turn over is extremely high which speaks loudly about the operation. They arn't really concerned about the employees as they really don't get to know them.

Pros

Great benefits for full time employees. Great discount on Bass Pro branded product. Raises at 90 days and every year after if work is deemed satisfactory. ProPlan lets you buy certain rods and guns at a real discount.

Cons

Everyone is now hired as part-timer, even if working full time hours, so no benefits. Local competitors will sell for less even factoring in your employee discounts No discount on guns, ammo, marine electronics or fishing reels? Better to price match with ad from local competitor, sometimes managers won't do it for you. Nobody has ever gotten the 90 day raise. The yearly raise for workers who exceed expectations is 2-3% max. Once you make good money (five years) they terminate you and replace you with people at minimum wage with no knowledge. Revolving door mentality. ProPlan is run by person who makes it hard to get appropriate paperwork unless you're on the favoured employee list. Complaining makes it more likely paperwork will get lost or the order will be scrutinized by Manager and denied for unfounded reasons.
