Great coworkers and management. Good pay and benefits package. Good customers and a fun environment to work in. Room for advancement for those who are willing to put in the effort and are able to relocate.

Limited opportunities for full time employment. Irregular working hours that include nights and weekends. Company is going through a lot of change currently which can be stressful.

Pros

Great product benefits, good benefits in other areas. Some really good employees in working levels at Headquarters where I worked.

Cons

Changing to a high pressure, disrespectful and selfish management team, in general, though there are still some great caring managers. Extreme inconsistencies from department to department. Out dated equipment at retail stores.

Pros

You will get amazing prodeals on gear and equipment. Your co-workers are outdoor enthusiasts and will be cool.

Cons

You will have to fight management to get more hours. I personally felt micro-managed and was even watched from the managers room while overloaded and then chewed out for not keeping up instead of being helped by the manager. Pay is low.
