Pros

Got to put my Customer Service Skills towards helping customers. Was appreciated by customers more than by Bass Pro Shops . Found out how businesses slowly get a bad wrap and I don't have to wonder why once my favorite outdoor store one day went down under. :(

Cons

Company states they are family oriented NOT. Missed more events with my family than I dreamed of and BPS didn't care because it is all about them and the word "RETAIL". Go far and beyond to show you are a hard driven worker and the managers feel threatened and start making you feel you did wrong by turning against you and bullying you to make you look bad to Corporate and to other employees. Unfortunately Corporate doesn't care either, I worked as a lead and was treated like i had a disease. Corporate listens to the Older "Click" Personnel than they do the hard working employees that carry the company forward. Highest turn over rate I ever seen in a company . BPS should worry about their products in the store rather than be pushy on the third party products"credit cards and Gear Guard programs it is alright to mention it but not 5 times- it drives customers away .

Pros

You get to wear jeans.

Cons

They rush through training you, make you work your department by yourself most the time, tell you that you’ll get 15 minute breaks and then never give you them or give them to you late, people call in all the time in the store. They lie when they are helping you to learn new skills. All they want to do is abuse the employees until burned out and will change you to run a cash register or be a greeter when it’s not the job you were hired for.
