Pros

Discount is good if you really like BPS branded merchandise. Work environment is casual and friendly for the most part, although it seems phony most times.

Cons

Management needs to learn the day to day operations of the store. Requests are often unreasonable. Benefits are poor. Health coverage is really expensive for lousy coverage. Pay scale is unfair. Some departments start their associates at a much higher rate because of the prestige associated with the department, i.e. hunting, fishing. Raises and reviews are a joke, practically insulting.

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.
