      Hoffman Location lost it's morale. People Leave because of Managers, not the Company.

      Pros

      Retail Discount, 3point5, promotive.com. Great staff... And by far the best break room ever thanks to a former manager. It's also fun to be around the best products every day!

      Cons

      Great Lakes Region fell apart By replacing great managers with GMIT's. HR is not approachable and has very little contact with outfitters. Outfitters feel they have no one to go to regarding HR matters. Leadership in Hoffman location is run in a military fashion. Upper management never shows up for worked schedule, and/or sits in office all day. Morale, earn outfitters trust, recognize for hard work. All of the above mentioned made it a great place to work. Why did that have to change? The outfitters provided extraordinary customer service! Cabela's is a great company, but too often people leave due to managers. Leadership is all about 2 things.. 1-TAKING CARE OF THE EMPLOYEES and 2-TAKING CARE OF THE CUSTOMERS... This GM doesn't do either! Department Managers work really hard. Sr. Managers are doing what they need to do to survive this wave! Very sad to leave the store because the company is overall great, they just need to have more of a 360degree management review process so they can hear the truth about upper management.

      Pros

      Love of outdoors, like very rural area

      Cons

      this place is full of discrimination.....where is the diversity they talk about. too many people are fired because they do not fit the good ole boy mold. i can tell you about women, minorities, gays, mixed race people that have either lost their job or have left because of the discrimination. then when you tell someone about it they get rid of you. I have heard the EEOC is now investigatining

      Terrible Local Management in Hoffman Estates

      Pros

      If you are an avid outdoors person (hunting, fishing, etc.) it's like being let loose in a candy store

      Cons

      Management is terrible - demeaning, incompetent in its handling of management functions such as scheduling, employee retention, employee motivation. GM and Asst. GM rally the tropps by reading spreadsheets to them. If sales are down, store management blames the rank and file for not pushing product hard enough. There are also too many money- making gimmicks such as credit cards, product insurance, etc.
