      Pros

      My fellow coworkers, and being in the know on outdoors equipment. And I had 3 really good days working there (in 1000 days total, not kidding)

      Cons

      Company, corporate, and managers. Incompetence at all upper levels. Laziness of management expecting you to do everything why they walk around to say they did something, then go back to hide in the office. Not near enough employees to handle all the customers. HR is a joke. They are more out to get you then work for you. Having to take customers crap because they are the money and outfitters are the company's feces.

      Great people to work with, but management is by and large incompetent.

      Pros

      The employees are of diverse backgrounds and in many case exceptional in ability and knowledge. Employee discounts are pretty decent. Most employees are active sportsmen and sportswomen. The most enjoyable aspect of employment is who you work with, but not necessarily who you work for.

      Cons

      Despite Cabela's claims to be employee-oriented, there exists a solid "good 'ol boy" network in place. If an employee is not prepared to drink the Kool-Aid, zero opportunity for advancement exists. Wages are low and the hours of duty are as impractical as can be imagined. If an employee is vocal about business practices, they are signing their own employment death certificate. The ability to convince customers to sign up for a company credit card trumps all other individual qualifications or achievements. Veteran employees understand the concept of keeping your head down and mouth shut to avoid termination.

      Pros

      Being surrounded by people who have same passion for the outdoors as yourself is great. Also, getting to be in an environment you have a passion for is a very rewarding aspect.

      Cons

      It is retail. There are constantly challenges with balancing time and getting your work accomplished. With it being retail and with having so many employees there are issues with malcontents and having to not let them dissuade you or your quality of work.
