Pros

Met some wonderful people, the interaction with others that loved the outdoors was amazing. The best part? The discount. The company is wonderful! If you love the outdoors, this is heaven. The company itself is great.

Cons

When the store opened, it was wonderful. Morale was high and excitement drove us each day. But, as upper management failed in leadership and guidance, it began a domino effect. Management turns a blind eye to what's going on. As associates, we are exhausted in trying to make positive changes. If you harbor an opinion that differs from management, you are not recognized because often stated, we are simply associates. So many policies and procedures are broken each day only to be swept under the rug. As associates, we see the disregard management has for the good of the store and its people. It has brought morale to an ultimate all time low. A sad situation for such a wonderful store that has so much potential.

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.
