Pros

Working with customers is great and brings great personal satisfaction. No pushy commission sales required. Great employee discounts on Bass Pro branded items. Best in the retail industry. Pro plan allows you to get great discounts on products within your department to evaluate and enjoy. Employee discounts on boats as well. Johnny Morris is truly a great person and a pleasure to be associated with.

Cons

Poor department managers. Can be very inflexible when it comes to schedules. Can be vindictive and use the schedule as punishment as well. They preach family values but truly have no concern for them. Not willing to pay for experience.

Pros

Good discount on in house brands

Cons

Toxic management runs rampant at most stores, multiple managers keep their jobs after saying racist or sexist things to both employees or customers. If you’re a good worker they expect you to do the work for your coworkers who are lazy / not doing their job and if you complain you’re the problem. Pay is a joke. Annual raises are never more than $0.20 a year, sometimes as low as $0.07.
