      Pros

      Discounts on gear, Great people, lots of training, new opportunities for experiences in the outdoors, discounts in the industry lots of internal hiring and upward mobility

      Cons

      growing to quickly, starting to be run like a corporation rather than a family company. Hours are not reliable at all. Great place to work as a second job or if you are a student who needs some extra cash but not a bread and butter job unless you are management. even specialized positions are not considered important anymore

      Pros

      Great benefits, Great people, Great deals on merchandise, Low pressure

      Cons

      Low pay, Low hours for part time employees ( I hear that some stores are different and have a good bit of hours for part timers). Also it seems that there is a lack of respect for my position in particular, Shipping and receiving specialist is the lowest paying job in my store even though I am the only one with that title, does not make me feel special in a good way!
