Pros

The store is customer friendly to a fault. The section managers and leads are excellent, It is a fun and family friendly environment. The discount is ok. The associates are a great group of people to work with. The vacation benefits are good.

Cons

The company is not very associate friendly. Only one holiday off per year (Christmas), the store will stay open regardless of how slow. Training is poor. Pay raises are poor. Health benefits are poor. Employee recognition is poor. Care for employee welfare is poor. Two key personnel in upper management foster a toxic environment towards employees. Lunches are too short and breaks are simply not a priority.

Pros

Bass Pro Shops has a strong team culture, and the people are one of the best parts of working here. I've had the opportunity to work with talented and supportive coworkers who are willing to collaborate and help each other succeed. The company also offers exposure to large-scale marketing initiatives and provides opportunities to work on a variety of projects across multiple channels and business areas.

Cons

The compensation and benefits package could be more competitive, especially when compared to similar marketing roles in the industry. Project timelines are often extremely aggressive, leaving little room for unexpected challenges and creating a fast-paced, high-pressure environment. While the work can be rewarding, the combination of tight deadlines and limited resources can make it difficult to maintain a healthy work-life balance at times.
