The Ulitmate Hunt, Well Just Glorified Retail

Anonymous employee

Pros

A great place if you need something to get by. There is free popcorn in the break room and a comfy couch when you need a break. Decent discount if you are a fan of the outdoors most of your pay check may just go back to Cabela's. Remember this is retail and there are chances to move up if you enjoy selling credit cards, working weekends, and holidays.

Cons

Not a place to build a career. A great deal a lot of funds have been taken away from the store so there is little incentive to exceed standards or performance. There is a lack of positivity and fun environment in a place that sells fun. Cabela's is going to to become an outdoor themed Walmart in the next few years because they are searching to please stock holders not customers or employees.

Pros

Fantastic culture and fun co-workers. Get to play with guns.

Cons

Upper management needs to value ground level employees more. I made my store nearly 70k in credit card referrals alone and all I got for my effort was a crappy t-shirt. Using chocolate and candy to drive performance is for elementary school teachers - not professional adults.

Pros

Love of outdoors, like very rural area

Cons

this place is full of discrimination.....where is the diversity they talk about. too many people are fired because they do not fit the good ole boy mold. i can tell you about women, minorities, gays, mixed race people that have either lost their job or have left because of the discrimination. then when you tell someone about it they get rid of you. I have heard the EEOC is now investigatining
