Pros

Got to put my Customer Service Skills towards helping customers. Was appreciated by customers more than by Bass Pro Shops . Found out how businesses slowly get a bad wrap and I don't have to wonder why once my favorite outdoor store one day went down under. :(

Cons

Company states they are family oriented NOT. Missed more events with my family than I dreamed of and BPS didn't care because it is all about them and the word "RETAIL". Go far and beyond to show you are a hard driven worker and the managers feel threatened and start making you feel you did wrong by turning against you and bullying you to make you look bad to Corporate and to other employees. Unfortunately Corporate doesn't care either, I worked as a lead and was treated like i had a disease. Corporate listens to the Older "Click" Personnel than they do the hard working employees that carry the company forward. Highest turn over rate I ever seen in a company . BPS should worry about their products in the store rather than be pushy on the third party products"credit cards and Gear Guard programs it is alright to mention it but not 5 times- it drives customers away .

Pros

Great environment, exciting work days. Customers are usually happy and cordial. The work is not too difficult especially if you enjoy The Outdoors.(Hunting,Fishing, Etc.)

Cons

Games people play. The issue is most of the employees that have been there for a while feel entitled and will make your life miserable if you try to excel. There is no were to turn as Management and HR have close outside personal relationships with the Trouble makers and will not listen to anyone who isn't in the ,"click". Extremely unprofessional and difficult to sustain. If you don't fit with the click you are fighting an up hill battle and wont last very long. Forget about any possible chance of getting promoted.
