Pros

Great benefits for full time employees. Great discount on Bass Pro branded product. Raises at 90 days and every year after if work is deemed satisfactory. ProPlan lets you buy certain rods and guns at a real discount.

Cons

Everyone is now hired as part-timer, even if working full time hours, so no benefits. Local competitors will sell for less even factoring in your employee discounts No discount on guns, ammo, marine electronics or fishing reels? Better to price match with ad from local competitor, sometimes managers won't do it for you. Nobody has ever gotten the 90 day raise. The yearly raise for workers who exceed expectations is 2-3% max. Once you make good money (five years) they terminate you and replace you with people at minimum wage with no knowledge. Revolving door mentality. ProPlan is run by person who makes it hard to get appropriate paperwork unless you're on the favoured employee list. Complaining makes it more likely paperwork will get lost or the order will be scrutinized by Manager and denied for unfounded reasons.

Pros

Bass Pro Shops has a strong team culture, and the people are one of the best parts of working here. I've had the opportunity to work with talented and supportive coworkers who are willing to collaborate and help each other succeed. The company also offers exposure to large-scale marketing initiatives and provides opportunities to work on a variety of projects across multiple channels and business areas.

Cons

The compensation and benefits package could be more competitive, especially when compared to similar marketing roles in the industry. Project timelines are often extremely aggressive, leaving little room for unexpected challenges and creating a fast-paced, high-pressure environment. While the work can be rewarding, the combination of tight deadlines and limited resources can make it difficult to maintain a healthy work-life balance at times.
