Cabela's reviews

Does not promote from within, continuously hires management from big box stores, SAMs club. Best Buy etc, Those managers hire their buddies from those companies most of which know little to nothing about hunting, camping, fishing etc. lots of talented people at the outfitter level but no future!! Constantly cutting hours to skeleton crews, poor customer service when no one available in entire department to assist them.

I constantly strived to be the best outfitter I could be. Picking up shifts, learning every aspect of the store, effectively communicating with my leads and managers. But it never felt like I was taken seriously, I was constantly passed over for promotions without any reason given as to why. Full-time positions are the equivalent to a water fountain in the desert. Room for growth doesn't exist if you were hired to open a new store, but if you get a position a year or so after you will more than likely move up in the store. Yes, I seem disgruntled but that is only because I had such high hopes and aspirations when I started working there. To see myself being passed over for positions I have worked hard for I wonder if I have wasted the last two years working for a company that I never had a chance of moving up in.
