      Rather than being inspired, inspectors work under zero tolerance resulting in over-riding fear of firing .

      Pros

      Pleasant clean atmosphere and congenial peers. There are many interesting able affable employees with a potential to make the corporation sore.

      Cons

      Confusion about policy and implimentation - managers, leads, departments, and upper management. No continuity of policy, against vision. No inspiration or inclusion of employee voice in an open and meaningful manner.

      Forget the Company; Think about where you have to live!

      Pros

      Plenty of jobs available if you don't plan on staying long and look at it as a stepping stone to better opportunities in a better place.

      Cons

      The weather in Sidney is horrible. Too hot to go outside in the summer; too cold to go outside in the winter. The other two days are fine! Dirty; windy and smelly depending on the wind direction. There is no middle ground. If you've move from somewhere where there's water and trees, you won't be happy. If you think Cabela's is all about the outdoor life, think again. The corporate headquarters is in the middle of nowhere! There's absolutely nothing in Sidney. No amenities, not one great place to eat, no chains; you can't even get a Whopper within 40 miles. The company is making lots of money. That is their only concern. The management the use to be made up of hardcore outdoor people are gone.

      Pros

      You pretty much pick your hours. Other employees can be fun. Discount.

      Cons

      They have scripting they like you to follow and if you forget to ask the customer if they want any accessories you get in trouble. Or if you don't ask them about a VISA credit card you also get in trouble and there was one new supervisor that like to listen to pretty much everyone of my calls and if I did everything right she would try to come up with stuff I did wrong any ways. Shes the reason I finally left.
