      The relationships with fellow outfitters is great and we get to help some wonderful people with their outdoor experience.

      Since the company went public, the work environment has diminished and hours for outfitters have gone way down.

      Pros

      The only reason to work here is if your looking for a part-time job, in school, retired and looking to supplement your income. They work well with your school schedule. The benefits are okay but nothing to brag about, expensive medical/dental vision plans. The employee discount is tiered. For the first two years you are at Basecamp which to me wasn't much of a discount. After two years your at Timberline which is better but your stuck there until you reach your seven year anniversary. After seven years your at Summit pricing which is at the peak of their tiered discount. At this level your able to enjoy the benefits of purchasing items slightly above cost. They offer vacation time each year and every year your with them you get a little more.

      Cons

      The number one challenge I had working here was having a hard time advancing. After several years of employment as a full-time employee having worked in several departments and a lead for a few years I was never given an opportunity to manage a department. I felt I was being held back by upper management and came to realize it wasn't what you know, but who you know. The company has changed drastically since we first opened the doors. I use to love working there. The company was privately owned and family oriented. Now its a publicly traded company. All they care about is pleasing the shareholders. Customers come second and employees pick up the scraps. I say customers come second because you go into a store now and you cant find any help. It's no better than Wal-Mart. They have consistently taken away from the employees, loss of Christmas bonuses, terrible annual raises, non-competitive pay, lay offs. You are literately overworked and underpaid.
