Pros

The people in your general dept are pretty cool & all share in the dislike for the place but need the money Discount is pretty good

Cons

-Upper management are total quacks. Who cares is you went to West Point, my big toe could do a better job. -Overall inconsistent with everything. -They give incentive programs & take them away. -Employees are expected to act as dept trainers vs management. -They want you to give "open availability" but then schedule for 10-12 hrs a week. -Cannot stress micromanagement enough. They barely even know who you are.

Pros

Many professional co-workers ... good interaction.

Cons

Hired on as part time only to find 3 months later (when potential benefits would kick in) that the 'wave' of hiring had been seasonal --- big disappointment.

Pros

If you like the outdoor lifestyle then this is a place. About the only good thing I can is that we still have a relaxed culture around here. No one seems to care about sales and profits much

Cons

GUNS AND AMMO : Sales began to moderate during the summer, and actually came in worse than management expected. Sales have comped slightly negative for the first couple weeks of October, which isn't bad, but the company will now comp the election and Sandy Hook during the next quarter, as well as the positive 24% comp in Q1 of next year. Guns and ammo were the main concerns analysts had, as this segment made up most of the Q & A portion of the call. Gun sales comped down 2.5% for the quarter, but ammunition was more resilient. We need to continue monitoring this segment since it is the main concern for the analysts right now in what seems to me a "show me" story.
