      Hoffman Location lost it's morale. People Leave because of Managers, not the Company.

      Pros

      Retail Discount, 3point5, promotive.com. Great staff... And by far the best break room ever thanks to a former manager. It's also fun to be around the best products every day!

      Cons

      Great Lakes Region fell apart By replacing great managers with GMIT's. HR is not approachable and has very little contact with outfitters. Outfitters feel they have no one to go to regarding HR matters. Leadership in Hoffman location is run in a military fashion. Upper management never shows up for worked schedule, and/or sits in office all day. Morale, earn outfitters trust, recognize for hard work. All of the above mentioned made it a great place to work. Why did that have to change? The outfitters provided extraordinary customer service! Cabela's is a great company, but too often people leave due to managers. Leadership is all about 2 things.. 1-TAKING CARE OF THE EMPLOYEES and 2-TAKING CARE OF THE CUSTOMERS... This GM doesn't do either! Department Managers work really hard. Sr. Managers are doing what they need to do to survive this wave! Very sad to leave the store because the company is overall great, they just need to have more of a 360degree management review process so they can hear the truth about upper management.

      Pros

      Love of outdoors and conservation. Like the easy lifestyle

      Cons

      What is up here. We had a terrible 4th quarter and they still are not doing anything about it. I am sure with the compass scores that will probably happen someone will loose their job again. Why is it that a company this large is so much in trouble with HR.

      Pros

      If you like the outdoor lifestyle then this is a place. About the only good thing I can is that we still have a relaxed culture around here. No one seems to care about sales and profits much

      Cons

      GUNS AND AMMO : Sales began to moderate during the summer, and actually came in worse than management expected. Sales have comped slightly negative for the first couple weeks of October, which isn't bad, but the company will now comp the election and Sandy Hook during the next quarter, as well as the positive 24% comp in Q1 of next year. Guns and ammo were the main concerns analysts had, as this segment made up most of the Q & A portion of the call. Gun sales comped down 2.5% for the quarter, but ammunition was more resilient. We need to continue monitoring this segment since it is the main concern for the analysts right now in what seems to me a "show me" story.
