Pros

-Great place to work while in college or as a recent graduate trying to figure out what to do with your life. -Health benefits are fantastic but you have to work a lot to get them. -Amazing employee discounts that enable you to get the gear you want so you can get out and do what you want.

Cons

-Management tries to push membership conversion rating without ever telling you what your stake in that as part of the excels bonus is. I wish they would be more up front and honest about the financial implications of that. -Unless you are worthy of endorsement and want it they will not mentor you. Some of us would like to get in a position to work in the outdoor industry as a company rep, but they either don't care or don't know about that side of the business.

Don't receive much training or consistent training. Management has a huge push to sell Co-op memberships. Perks faded overtime.
