      Working at 5.11 Tactical after 3 years

      Pros

      I started at 5.11 Tactical as a Service Specialist at one of the highest volume stores in the company and dived straight into Ship from Store operations and feel in love with it. I was welcomed with open arms from colleagues, supervisors and district managers. This company puts the customer first and takes care of their employees.

      Cons

      I would love to see more team members put in decision making or advisory boards, as I experienced this in college.

      Reduced workload and good pay, but operations are shaky

      Pros

      Compared to my prior employer, the workload is much reduced while the pay is a substantial increase. I feel that store and District leadership is a lot more willing to back you up compared to Prior employers I've had, and there is a good amount of freedom to be had. The company is also expanding so the opportunity for growth is also higher than with other Industries right now.

      Cons

      The company seems to be a bit schizophrenic at the moment when it comes to certain things and operations are suffering to a degree because of it.
