Vantaggi
Selling fun outdoor equipment will only take you so far. There is good fellowship and experiences to be had within the company but it continually gets lost with many, many changes to the way they do business.
Svantaggi
Communication for the corp level is terrible. They do things, redo them and then change mind again. Programs rolled out to stores before any communication is sent down on the details. Upper level management does not have a clue what a day in the life inside on of the retail stores is like. The only job sharing the corp office does is at the Nebraska stores. Those stores move at a snails pace compared to the west and east region stores. The HR departments both at the retail and corp level are at best hillbilly, control freaks. They are scared to be sued for terminating employees, paying unemployment, etc... what they should be concerned with is employee retention and culture. Work life balance at the senior management level at stores does NOT exist!!! Period! Regional manager visits are a joke. Finanacial accumen, operations aspects, etc... are not gone over. Instead they run around your stores answering their cell phones, pointing out crooked or missing price tags, and complaining about the rental car they got at the airport. Cabelas retail division is going to fail if the good people in the stores are not listened to!
