Pros

Good people to work with, great discounts on gear, learning environment with large amounts of product knowledge, helping customers was very rewarding at times and tedious at others.

Cons

Management is very suck up like and will only give hours to those who brown nose the most, any difference in how things are run and you get low hours majority of the time. Very different ideas on how things are run from each manager so never any clear direction on things.

Pros

They are very much invested in developing their people. If you show interest in something they will continue to encourage you. Always providing hundreds of ways to get outside and try new activities.

Cons

The one con would be hourly pay but I hear that's about to change.
