Pros

Pay is not bad for the job I do. Discount is ok on most things but on some big ticket items, kayaks, bikes, guns, electronics not as good. People are great, managers are friendly for the most part.

Cons

Hours are cut to the bone after Christmas and stay that way till next thanksgiving. Full time gets 32 to 38 hours a week. They will give part time people more hours than full time when its busy (they make less dollars per hour) Training is nonexistent. Will use up pay roll getting ready for a visit from corporate then have a skeleton crew for the next week or two.

Pros

- Unlimited PTO with 401k match is awesome

Cons

- Performance expectations were often unclear or inconsistently communicated, Feedback was reactive instead of timely and actionable. - Leadership quality varied dramatically by manager, with limited coaching or mentorship. - Constant shifting priorities without adjusting expectations or workload. - Psychological safety was lacking, Honest communication feel risky. - Leadership messaging around culture didn't match day-to-day reality. - Process was often valued more than impact or results. - Compensation well below market, w/little flexibility during negotiations. - I felt excluded from key conversations and opportunities that were important to my success.
