Pros

Some of the pros about working at Cabela's are: * you receive up to 45% of on brands owned by Cabela's and Basspro and 15% off on brand named items. * you get some decent medical coverage as a PT employee after 90 days, nothing to amazing but if you wear glasses they cover up to $160 on the frames. * Most fellow employees tend to be friendly and somewhat knowledgeable in their departments.

Cons

So the cons for working at Cabela's: * Even though you can use you're discount with family members be careful because they can fire you at the drop of a hat for using it, if they decide to. * The employee discount is extremely restricted to clothing, footwear, and camping with few exceptions if it was the Cabela's brand on it. * Senior management only seems to care about how many club cards that we can push customers to sign-up for. * No real opportunities to become a FT employee outside of the already established management. * God forbid you work in the customer service section like i did, customer service employees have no protection and are used by managers as scapegoats on questionable returns that are made and they approve. * Managers and Upper Management seem to be exempt from all the store rules and have almost free rain to do whatever they want and slack off. * Any form of store policy are generally ignored by most leads and managers, except those that work at the gun counters. * Since the Basspro takeover the Asset Protection has become a joke in terms of stopping any form theft from the stores as they no longer have the power to do anything about it.
