Don't be mislead, Bass Pro operates like a start-up and not in a good way - Industrial Designer Bass Pro Shops Employee Review

-understaffed (to keep costs down, believe it or not, at the HQ level some people still make less than $40,000) -overworked (most of the time you have one person managing a couple hundred million dollars in projects alone) -no process (no clear job descriptions, i.e., doing work well outside your job role) -no space (how does a company this big not have room??) -no career path (they suggest lateral movement - not advancement) -bad managers, it's a 'good ole boys' club at the top and most lack the management skills required -high turnover (over a third of my department has left in under a 2-year span) -no work-life balance (mandatory outside of work volunteer-told duties) -owner operated in which he cares more about NASCAR than the quality of his product -work culture is abysmal (most don't care, have lost all their passion, and actively hate their job) Teams aren't set up for success. Leaders in position come from an old-school way of thinking and aren't adaptive to today's climate. Odds are you will get burnt out and leave in a year, because Springfield, MO is in the middle of nowhere.
