Pros

I gained experience in Consumer Products, Cst. Svc, and responsibility for consumer's credit by processing private information after informing them of the process. The store is well located, has three ranges of product and has deli, RV stop, and something for everyone. I really genuinely liked my co-workers and think it is a very nice store with charisma.

Cons

There is a disconnect in this particular store. The Managers make this place miserable. It is run like a mini-prison (not that I'd know), but it is very punishing and isolating. "Us and Them" Plastic cards are not always stocked in printer due to MOD is "busy". HUGE turnover. They have let so many people go that had been there for many years. Most left with despair. Even nice Management left. Many upsets. They lead through chaos. I was part time, however, worked so many different hours, that I could not work anywhere else. Always worked weekends and evenings, then turn around and work a whole day. No personal time but to eat and sleep and nobody eats dinner at 10 pm or 11 pm.

Pros

Working with the co-workers, it was for the most part fun while we worked. and the discounts were pretty good also.

Cons

the warehouse manager had about three other job tittles and couldnt do one great, he kept an un-organized warehouse and a poor attitude.

Pros

- overall a great group of people as long as you keep them at arm's length - room for advancement -if you get to know the right people - you can work for years and still get no where if the target you for no reason (and this happens all the time)

Cons

- still corrupt at the manager level (i.e. friends hiring friends vs. qualified people) - management is not approachable and rather look the other way than deal with real issues - back stabbing abounds - it's in their Nature; trust no one - be prepared to not have one job to do - they typically give you at least three full time jobs to do and the expectation is that you WILL do them - or watch out at review time - retaliation policy is in writing only - it's alive and well in this company - money seems to rise to the top layer of management while the grunt workers have to use both side of a sticky note to save money for the company - the core values that Cabela's claims to embrace does not apply to managers and above - they can do what they want and treat people how they want - absolutely no respect for individuals happening here
