Pros

It's a job, and relatively easy

Cons

No advancement, most low level employees have more sales, advertising and supervisory skills than the mangagement, which seems perpetually clueless on how to run a retail operation.

Pros

Opportunity to meet interesting people with the same outdoor interest.

Cons

Zero opportunity for advancement, low wages and management team who care only about themselves. Most managers have never had any real training in dealing with people. In turn they treat you like something they would gladly wipe off their shoe. They are not interested in what they can do for you or what your career goals may be.

Pros

the only thing would be to look at the cool hunting and fishing stuff that you might like to buy. Meeting other outfitters that have the same interest as you.

Cons

Everything.. Management can not manage their way out of a paper bag... The worst thing I would say is pushing the credit card on customers. If we did not get a certain amount of people to sign up for the card we would get written up...if we didnt get a certain amount of people signed up the second month we would have to go through training on how to push it...
