Pros

Great people to work with, great customers to serve, great pay, and great pro deals and discounts.

Cons

Limited hours, still a retail environment that pushes for membership and credit card applications, current trajectory is cutting costs to improve long term growth and sustainability (at the cost of employee benefits)

Pros

Excellent pro deals on your favorite outdoor gear. Great in store discounts.

Cons

Where do I start? Inconsistent scheduling, never know what days you will be working week to week; highly incapable local management with chips on their shoulders making everyday life at your job ever so challenging; NOT ENOUGH STAFF to accomplish the work.
