A nice option

Pros

Good management, great opportunities to learn equipment and pro deals, co-workers are awesome

Cons

As much as it built its reputation on being a CO-OP and getting people outside and teaching them about the outdoors, now more and more it's a corporation about the bottom line and not interested in getting people outside but selling them on the idea of getting outside.

Pros

Great co-workers, pro-deals and store discounts!

Cons

They care more about selling memberships than they do anything else! Also their base pay is low for such a big company.

Pros

Environment, staff, balance, work ethics

Cons

inconsistent schedule may cause staff to dislike, but that's the retail environment and commitment.
