Pros

The brand and the passion for the outdoors was a lot of fun, but it only goes so far.

Cons

In 2015, over 50% of the Digital Marketing Office turned-over and management not only did NOTHING to back-fill most positions, but refused to address that there was even a problem. A company-wide employee survey showed year-over-year declines in satisfaction. While the president and other executives acknowledged this, nothing was put into action within the Digital Marketing Office. Salaries are way under market and there is strong favoritism. Training/Development was 1-2 times a year at best and “leadership” programs usually died-away after 1-2 sessions. In my career, I’ve generally run into two types of managers…those who are good at managing projects and those who are good at managing people. The Cabela’s Digital Marketing office has neither.

Pros

Good people to work with on a personal level.

Cons

Corporate management cutting to the bone. Making schedule changes that are difficult for personnel. All incentives being stripped at store level. Corporate management cutting drastically to show market gains for possible sale. Morale of store personnel at very low level. Would not recommend. We all know that Millner has been brought in to liquidate other firms.

Pros

Pleasant clean atmosphere and congenial peers. There are many interesting able affable employees with a potential to make the corporation sore.

Cons

Confusion about policy and implimentation - managers, leads, departments, and upper management. No continuity of policy, against vision. No inspiration or inclusion of employee voice in an open and meaningful manner.
