Pros

I really do love almost everything about working at Cabela's--the culture, the values, the time they invest in their employees with lots of potential, their employee recognition, the growth opportunities, etc. I have worked for them for a little over a year and I am about to get my third promotion which just shows if you really work hard you can get ahead in this company.

Cons

It's retail first and foremost. That means you work most weekends, you close, you work holidays, pay isn't really livable for a family unless you're in management, and sometimes some crappy managers or outfitters slip through the cracks.

There needs to be a change in middle-management!

Pros

There are really great people to work with in the outdoor industry.

Cons

There are managers that have no business being in a leadership role. Unprofessionalism and bullying of employees is common. And promotions are not always based on the hard work and dedication of the employee. It is not uncommon to witness employees spend their days gossiping, surfing the internet and ignoring phone calls and emails. And then be promoted!
