Pros

Best customers in the world. Good discount, great pro deals, online discount websites. Really work around my schedule (I'm a college student) Promote involvement with activities. "Living the brand"

Cons

Managers are not interested in selling firearms. (I've been told by four managers in my store and both my district manager and DLPM). They don't understand that it is my job to sell guns to all qualified people who want them. They believe the company makes no money on guns but I insist that I can upsell the extras (ammo, case, cleaning kits, etc) Stores and departments are not staffed properly. I may have 8 cashiers with three standing around with their thumbs up their butts and I am covering two or three departments because people call out. Other associates call out way too much, in the army we call them Bravo Foxtrots. I've been here two years and never called out yet I know of people who call out three to four times a week and the company never fires them.

Pros

Nice co-workers and a nicely organized store

Cons

Horrible experience with management. They were extremely critical and assigned blame whenever possible, and approached issues in a negative way. Also, no technology whatsoever. There's 2 computers for online orders, and price checking is a nightmare.
