Pros

Very good company. They care about customers/members and, as a result, try to get the right product in the hands of the users instead of just the most expensive product that they want to sell. All employees are very knowledgeable in their fields, ex: yoga, hiking, backpacking, camping, biking, climbing, etc... and as a result, have the best info to offer customers who are coming in looking for gear. Management is very positive. I've only worked there for a few weeks and can already tell I will enjoy it. WORDS OF ADVICE: look on here for the interview questions...everything they asked me in the interview, I was able to prepare for ahead of time.

Cons

There are no cons...from what I have seen, the company looks for innovative products that enhance the outdoor experience and their genuine desire is to foster a love for the outdoors by providing gear and contributing to stewardship of outdoor areas in communities.

Pros

The best company I've ever had the pleasure of working for. The company lives up to it's status of one of the top 100 companies to work for in all ways. Looking forward to going back next season.

Cons

If I don't come up with something there may never be an opening. Seriously though...no cons.
