Pros

Family-like atmosphere with co-workers. Plenty of opportunities to be cross-trained in other departments.

Cons

Constantly need to be on management for any changes in schedule and the like. It felt like current employees were being punished because the staff shortage i.e. breaks were withheld for the exception of lunches on long days, no opportunity to advance to full-time.

Pros

individual stores offer incentive discounts for meeting metrics on customer service or credit card sales. sometimes good Christmas discount for outfitters. friends and family discount when they get same as employee basecamp discount. they do promote from within but they ask so much of their leads and management i wouldn't want to rise. used to be a great company with a good name and good products...corp penny pinching on quality killed it. good customer service to help customers get what they need.

Cons

Corporate nightmare, spend $$ on helicopter flights and ridiculous 'nature sound' audio that sounds like someone dragging a body thru the woods...that lasted about a month before customer feedback killed it. they bragged about the $$$$$ they spent on it while we were making $9/hr. poor communication. communication is poor, meetings and memos about nothing important while big changes happen without notice.
