The biggest issue with this company is the management at nearly every level. My direct managers often seemed like they had no real idea what they were doing, and it showed clearly in the decisions they made on a daily basis. The turnover rate is extremely high, yet little to no meaningful effort is made to improve employee retention or address the reasons people continue to leave. The management style could best be described as “strict parenting.”
The company talks a lot about opportunities for advancement and career growth, but those conversations rarely go anywhere. When employees try to discuss moving up within the company, management often treats them like they are unrealistic for even asking. It also feels like leadership prioritizes employees who blindly follow directions instead of people who think independently or bring new ideas to the table. If you do bring a new idea to the table that they like, they will take it as their own and you will not receive any credit or recognition.
There were also multiple promises made about company outings and performance incentives that never actually happened. Overall, the culture and atmosphere feel very off. Most employees are either brand new and already looking for a way out, or they came from companies that were acquired by Revelyst and are equally unhappy with the direction things have gone.
For being an outdoor company, you would expect more support for outdoor activities, flexible scheduling, time off, or even encouragement to be active. That was not the case. The main focus seemed to be making sure you were sitting at your desk. Walks and bathroom breaks were allowed like in most companies, but time away from your desk was closely monitored, and you would hear about it if it was perceived as too long. However, management had no such requirement to be at their desks, and often it would be hours (yes hours) before you could get a response or ask questions because they were not available.
