Pros

casual work environment, values-based personnel, strong leadership training program, results-driven productivity model

Cons

work-life balance is becoming a challenge, time-tracking policies have changed numerous times over the past 2 years and have become unnecessarily burdensome, the amount of red-tape needed to implement a simple change or get a project/idea off the ground has gone from mentioning it to the right person for approval and implementing, to forming a 10-person committee to review the idea for a month, investigate it's value and popularity, determine the level of effort from players who aren't even on the team (let-alone knowledgeable) to tickets, ticket, and more tickets... The bureaucracy is growing unbelievably dense.

Pros

Very cool hunting, fishing and camping store.

Cons

Too political, managed by bullying and no consistency from one manager to another. Need to work/lead employees not direct with fear.

Pros

I was able to move from a seasonal over-night worker to a lead position in the customer service department in less than a year simply by showing up and applying a solid work ethic to my habits.

Cons

Retail is an industry that is constantly fluctuating, and I recently heard that the company went through a number of cut backs on full time positions at the retail level.
