Pros

Good people on the floor to work with. You do get discounts, but if an item is on sale, the discount is less.

Cons

Sr. Management is not good. Department managers are not that good. Leads and managers do not listen to the employees doing the work. Witnessed unethical work practices in the Gun Vault. Some workers treat you like a dog, as in if you make a mistake, your nose gets rubbed in it. I stayed one year so as not to loose vacation pay.

Pros

Meeting and helping people interested in the outdoors. Employee discount. Most of the other outfitters were good people to work with.

Cons

Being forced to hawk credit cards to customers and receiving very little compensation for our efforts. Anyone who isn't management is expendable, replaceable. Management at the store I worked at was mired in hubris; thought they were smarter than the outfitters that worked the front line everyday. I had issues with my legs (multiple surgeries) and asked for mats behind the gun counter and nothing was ever done.
