Cabela's reviews

Communication for the corp level is terrible. They do things, redo them and then change mind again. Programs rolled out to stores before any communication is sent down on the details. Upper level management does not have a clue what a day in the life inside on of the retail stores is like. The only job sharing the corp office does is at the Nebraska stores. Those stores move at a snails pace compared to the west and east region stores. The HR departments both at the retail and corp level are at best hillbilly, control freaks. They are scared to be sued for terminating employees, paying unemployment, etc... what they should be concerned with is employee retention and culture. Work life balance at the senior management level at stores does NOT exist!!! Period! Regional manager visits are a joke. Finanacial accumen, operations aspects, etc... are not gone over. Instead they run around your stores answering their cell phones, pointing out crooked or missing price tags, and complaining about the rental car they got at the airport. Cabelas retail division is going to fail if the good people in the stores are not listened to!

You will work 3/4 of all weekends. You are "encouraged" to push the Cabela's brand credit card. The employee discount is now only about 20%. After the company went public, the culture changed and it began to feel more like Wal-Mart than a family-owned business. They company no longer cared about its lowly minions.
