Pros

Employee Discount Networking Taxidermy Fish Tank

Cons

They do not care about you. ZERO stability or recognizable pattern in weekly schedules. You need 2 weeks notice for a scheduled day off (that they may not honor), but they can change your schedule less than 48hrs before your shift WITHOUT NOTICE. They encourage you to work more than you are able (even if you decline) but reprimand you for hitting overtime. They want you to bend over backwards and sacrifice everything else in your life but will never bend back in your favor. They prefer to hire incompetent people so they can pay them less. They will complain that they pay you too much if you do your job well and stick around more than 4-6 months. Will refuse to hire new employees for months at a time when departments are struggling after former employees walk out en masse. They ONLY care about scamming people into signing up for their Bass Pro / Cabela’s credit card(s) by having the employees hustle customers so they can get around predatory lending laws.

Pros

Good discount on in house brands

Cons

Toxic management runs rampant at most stores, multiple managers keep their jobs after saying racist or sexist things to both employees or customers. If you’re a good worker they expect you to do the work for your coworkers who are lazy / not doing their job and if you complain you’re the problem. Pay is a joke. Annual raises are never more than $0.20 a year, sometimes as low as $0.07.
