Pros

Privately owned company with a good work life balance because most employees fish and hunt. Very unlike big retail companies that are unforgiving with scheduling.No "black out" days.Great discount.

Cons

Privately owned, It is a very male oriented company based on outdoor activities:fly fishing,hunting and guns.Vey male oriented !
