      Management does not know how to motivate or lead key employees

      Pros

      Co-workers are great! Everyone is willing to assist and share whenever possible. Very friendly and family atmosphere, much more so than other places I have been.

      Cons

      Management does not acknowledge that employees cannot be forced to prevent all mistakes by threating dismissal if an error is made by a customer! The working environment continues to deteriorate as employees become more and more nervous about their jobs.

      Great Co-Workers, Some of Management Spoiled the Fun

      Pros

      Great atmosphere, great co-workers, had a lot of fun setting up the store and the initial opening. First-line supervisors were good and worked hard for everyone.

      Cons

      Several members of management began poisoning the Cabela's attitude and values when they started cutting back hours of part time workers who asked for more hours and started hiring more employees, most of them people they knew from previous employment. Also, several lead positions were filled by outside hires when qualified people were already on staff, again filled by people known by the managers at previous employment. Also, changed the responsibilities of some jobs after hiring basically removing all potential for promotion for certain employees and making the chances of getting a full-time position in that job almost impossible.

      $$$ more important than service to customers

      Pros

      If you are into hunting, fishing, camping the discount may help.

      Cons

      If you work part time, your hours get cut often. Forget about a consistent work schedule. You will be working different hours, days, each week. Salary increases are mere pennies, not dollars. It is not what you know, but WHO you know if you want to move into different dept. They balk if you do overtime, so you may have to walk away while being asked for help. Need to punch out or risk losing job.
