      Pros

      Super deals on outdoor products, a chance to earn a yearly bonus. I made lifelong friends working there for 4 years. If you don't rely on it as a source of income, but extra money, it's a fantastic additional income.

      Cons

      Not consistent hours, if you require a monthly/weekly income, it is not the most reliable. When new people are hired on, they get all the hours.

      Pros

      Coworkers are all amazing people. Everyone's more friends than coworkers, frequently hang out outside of work. If you're not into a particular outdoor activity, your coworkers will get your into it, and probably provide you with most of the gear. When it's not stressful, customers can be awesome, and will tell you amazing stories.

      Cons

      Not a career job. Started here as a way to pay for college, and still here once or twice a week, mostly for the discounts. Even for the folks who work close to full-time, there's just not a lot of options to move into management.
