Pros

Fun people to work with. HUGE Brand Recognition....everyone you know or talk to has a Bass Pro story. Awesome discount on purchases in the store.

Cons

The discount is the only financial bennie other than your pay and health insurance. For years the company was mostly run by HR...may have changed by now. If you love NASCAR....you'll love Bass Pro....that's where your raise and bonus are spent. Hard to give employees raises and bonuses when the dumps all that money on Tony Stewart and his team. Incredible turnover...they have had SIX IT VPs in 10 years.

Pros

You get to wear jeans.

Cons

They rush through training you, make you work your department by yourself most the time, tell you that you’ll get 15 minute breaks and then never give you them or give them to you late, people call in all the time in the store. They lie when they are helping you to learn new skills. All they want to do is abuse the employees until burned out and will change you to run a cash register or be a greeter when it’s not the job you were hired for.
