Pros

I loved dealing with the customers - hunters, fishermen, outdoors people, especially Native and Inuit people - some of the best people I've dealt with. One especially from Northern Quebec will stay in my mind forever because of his unique name, and he told me he "loved me" for telling him his new gun was in!

Cons

A new supervisor got her position under . . . .questionable circumstances, and qualified in an . . . . .interesting way. The best, most productive supervisor and assistant that place ever had were let go, for no other reason than someone else wanted the job, and she was willing to do ANYTHING to get it.

Pros

If you love the stuff we sell how can you not enjoy working here? I genuinely like my job. I've worked in the retail store and in the distribution center. There is opportunity for advancement if you have a well rounded set of skills and strong inter-personal skills. One of the few places left where you can build a decent professional career without a college degree.

Cons

I've read the reviews on this site and I agree with a lot of them. There are still systemic problems that need to be recognized and addressed properly. There has been a huge cultural change since Millner took over and a lot of the "BS" is going away. Retail Management is in need of an overhaul. Too many young adults in high places that care about little more than scratching their way up the Corporate ladder at the expense of others.
