      Pros

      • Employee purchase program • Flexible schedule • Fun, like-minded co-workers and managers

      Cons

      • Employee purchase program! :) We all spent the majority of our paychecks on gear. • Low pay, but understandable for an entry level sales associate position. Honestly, my biggest complaint is that the store avoids bringing on employees fulltime so they don't have to provide benefits. The work was there, but they just hired more part-time sales associates.

      Pros

      Great culture and work/life balance. Good brand and opportunity to work on cool projects. Great discounts for outdoorsy types. It's a company you can be proud of and is seen as an industry leader.

      Cons

      Pay is not the highest in industry. There's sometimes a lack of direction. Management going through some growing pains, but is taking steps to improve.
