Pros

Competitive pay and benefits. Great discount. Friendly atmosphere. They do a great job of hiring for higher positions from within the store. Excellect advancement opportunities. Very good at working with you on scheduling conflicts.

Cons

As with every retail job weekends are a must. Busy during hunting season and holidays but it dies out for a while from January-May or so.

Pros

I was going to say their selection of merchandise. Unfortunately, you do not get your employee discount off the sale price. Sometimes the sale price is better than your discount.

Cons

Extremely HIGH turnover for retail. Low Pay. Horrible scheduling. Poor Managerment, many are lazy.

Pros

Cabela's is a premiere retailer and puts its customers and its Brand at the forefront of everything they do.

Cons

There are managers that run their areas and treat their employees with such arrogance and entitlement that it makes for a difficult work environment. These same managers do not consider promoting their employees but seem to get promotions for themselves. Their excessive hunting/fishing trips at the cost of the company are a priority while business can sometimes suffer. Managers who do not have children do not understand the need for work/life balance when it comes to illness or medical appointments. When issues are brought to the attention of HR, the managers prevail.
