Pros

I've been working for cabelas for three years now and I really truly love my job. The management is awesome! They are all except 1 very easy to talk to and will defiantly take into consideration anything you feel could be changed or fixed to better the store. They will work around your availability and often give you days off you've requested for. It's a super fun place to work. Your like a big family all under one green roof!

Cons

Some of the choices they make are based on who they like more than others, not based on what would be better for the company. I applied for a job and got passed up for it for someone who has no floor or merchandising experience, then I get told I have to train her.. If that's not a slap in the face I don't know what is. But like the kind of person I am, I'm training her and putting a smile on. I just thought it was very wrong. I'm not the only one it's happened to either. It happens quite often actually.

Pros

Truly care about staff. Have a great business model with great access to resources. Their brand is highly sought after and this makes it fun to work for them.

Cons

Odd culture with most employees being related and never having worked anywhere else. If you aren't a hard core hunter, it is difficult to fit in.

Pros

it was great to talk with people who liked the outdoors like i did. It was a fun work place to just go and talk about hunting fishing and camping.

Cons

Management in this store was horrible. they did not care about employees and never rewarded top performers. they also never hired a manager from inside the store they always went outside the store. once sales dropped the family feel was gone as the laid off many employees without any warning at all.
