Pros

Family atmosphere. Everyone cares about your success. The leadership team will work with you to make sure you get the most out of your job.

Cons

Pay is not that great. Hours also are not great but it is retail so you can't expect great hours.

Pros

The discount is about as good as it gets for employees. The people you work with on a day to day basis are for the most part great individuals to be around. It's a nice place to start a sales career, as they train heavily on customer service.

Cons

Tuesday night product knowledge meetings every week get old in a hurry. Especially if your shift ends at 5 p.m. and you are required to come back in to week. The work/life balance could definitely be better, then again it is retail. Base pay is the worst part about the job. If you want to make a decent living you better plan on selling for the better part of the day. If the store is slow, plan on just scraping by.

Pros

I enjoy my co-workers that I work with on a daily basis. Great discount when they aren't taking it away from you.

Cons

Promotions are rare, don't expect a raise ever. Micro-management at its finest. Always have to be pitching the Scheels Visa otherwise you lose your discount.
