Pros

Cabela's is a premiere retailer and puts its customers and its Brand at the forefront of everything they do.

Cons

There are managers that run their areas and treat their employees with such arrogance and entitlement that it makes for a difficult work environment. These same managers do not consider promoting their employees but seem to get promotions for themselves. Their excessive hunting/fishing trips at the cost of the company are a priority while business can sometimes suffer. Managers who do not have children do not understand the need for work/life balance when it comes to illness or medical appointments. When issues are brought to the attention of HR, the managers prevail.

Pros

Benefits package is fairly good. After being at Cabela's for a given amount of time the discount on merchandise is very good. Good opportunities for growth for competent and motivated individuals.

Cons

Tough environment for IT. Much of the focus of the company is on merchandising and often the focus on IT comes secondary. Very immature SDLC process. Cabela's definitely has some growing to do.
