Pros

I work with some of the most talented and amazing people I have every worked with! Each person hired was hired thoughtfully and carefully. We do not work from 5 to 11 as some have stated here on glassdoor quite a few times...that was actually a habit the old CEO encouraged. We are now encouraged to have a healthy work/life balance which is a nice change! I feel I'm making a difference working here! I really love my job!

Cons

5.11 is not for everyone and not everyone is a fit for 5.11.

Pros

Compared to my prior employer, the workload is much reduced while the pay is a substantial increase. I feel that store and District leadership is a lot more willing to back you up compared to Prior employers I've had, and there is a good amount of freedom to be had. The company is also expanding so the opportunity for growth is also higher than with other Industries right now.

Cons

The company seems to be a bit schizophrenic at the moment when it comes to certain things and operations are suffering to a degree because of it.
