Pros
- The culture is phenomenal, everyone from the top partners to the part-timers are good, dependable people and are all active in many different endeavors.
- The employee benefits are out of control, in addition to the great medical and dental for full-time employees, you also earn air miles to redeem on trips and are able to take part in company run excursions for free for many and at an extreme discount for others
- THE DISCOUNT! The employee discount is top-notch and even comes off of already discounted items - none of the other retail brands I have worked for have done this - you also can get the employee discount for life if you work for over a year and leave in good standing!!!
- Excellent internal promotions - many of the buyers and higher-ups in the company started by doing sales on the floor and have been there for a decade+
- They stock their break room with food... never heard of any retail company doing this, basically the google of outdoor retail
Bottom line: Partners, managers and everyone really care about each other and want you as an employee at any level to be happy and motivated and they do a great job at it
Cons
Starting pay isn't phenomenal... but it rarely is in retail, more than compensated by the fact that you don't have to pay for lunch...ever
