Pros

Get access to new products. A discount of 25% on highly marked up items in store only.

Cons

Not enough hours. Demanding sales goals. Stressful at times. Most important, management gets threats of being fired on a weekly basis and that same thing seemed to be acceptable throughout the entire store level.

Pros

Clean stores, good training, reasonably good product lines in most departments. Coworkers are friendly for the most part and usually well selected. Good emphasis on teamwork.

Cons

Employee purchase programs have been severely curtailed in recent months. Excessively elaborate management hierarchy creates excessive overhead thus severely curtailing lower level pay, and makes communication structure difficult. Very bad name among the outdoor/shooting sports industry for abandoning vendors and product lines, taking an adverse stance against the customer base, then insulting them with a false explanation for doing so and without apology.

Pros

- 25% discount, occasional 50% off of certain products - I like a lot of my coworkers - Bonuses for credit card signups ($10 for every 5) and warranties (3%)

Cons

- Low pay - Too much stress on metrics makes it stressful as a cashier - Personally, I think we're understaffed // payroll always seems to be an issue - No reward for getting employee or defender of the month
