IT department has become slave shop

Pros

Employee Discount; Bonus paid every year, even after going public in 2004; Casual clothing OK; Headquarters in a small town, which is good for raising children. IT department adopts new technology. Some training opportunities.

Cons

Post "gone public" culture becoming more soul-less, pushing employees harder and harder, leading to very poor work-life balance. Irrational planning, IT project quality measured almost exclusively against arbitrary deadlines. Zero real learning from past problems.

Pros

Cabela's is more about doing things right than they are about politics and grandstanding. They are about making the business better, the work environment better, and the customer experience better.

Cons

The company is still small enough that career growth opportunities are slow in coming with some positions.
