Pros

If you love fishing and talking to people on a daily basis, this job is definitely for you. I loved working at Bass Pro every day, even on days you get some unruly customers, the comradery and purpose talking to anglers of all age groups made it worth it. Also an incredible employee discount!

Cons

Emphasis on CLUB as a metric of success rather than overall competence and skill. The pay could be a little bit better considering it is the best outdoor retailer in the country and the level of knowledge you need to have to talk to some of the more experienced customers. Additionally, leadership in some departments could have been much better considering the caliber of the store and its reputation.

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.
