Pros
-If you are right wing, white, and Christian, it's a great company to work for. - If you keep your mouth shut and work hard for your pittance, you might be rewarded if you are a favorite. -Each store is a complete microcosm, I know for a fact that the Mankato store is easier to work at than the Rochester store. Unfortunately, the Rochester store suffers from being part of the Gestapo with people so brainwashed by Scheels that they are encouraged to tattle on each other. -Have fun but don't have too much fun or you'll be written up. -If you HAVE to work retail, this is going to be better than Wal-Mart (but don't work retail) -Medical benefits are really good -It's actually a good company to work for if you work Part Time, don't work there Full Time. -You'll meet people there that are awesome (and that you'll want to take with you when you leave Scheels), but don't get caught trying to blow off some steam with them or you'll get written up.
Cons
-This is a company for white, right-wing, Christian people. If you don't drink the kool-aid and don't think and act like them, you will go on their bad list. I can't tell you the amount of times people of color quit because they didn't feel comfortable -No LGBTQ or diversity training. I overheard insensitive jokes and microaggressions constantly from customers and often times from co-workers. -Always beware of a company that calls itself a family. -Management won't take kindly if you disagree with them, and they may even write you up for respectfully calling them out for insubordination but then they'll talk out the other side of their mouth about how they wish people told them how they really feel. -"We won't pay the best, but we won't pay the least" -Scheels quote They expect you to go above and beyond for the pittance of money they offer. -Only 11 days of PTO that you get a year (and you get 1 extra day each year...), in this day and age of the great resignation, this is absolutely pathetic. There are hundreds of better companies to work for than this. I must reiterate, only work here if you are right-wing, Christian, and white.
