Pros
The appeal of working for a major player in the outdoor industry, especially if you're an outdoorsman yourself. The discounts on merchandise is you are at the highest level. The certain amount of perceived notoriety and respect you get from the outdoor public for working at the company.
Cons
The hope that you can be associated with a company with a company that's respected in the outdoor industry, only to find all is not what it seems. Cabela's made it's name via customer service and quality products. Now they are selling more and more junk that presents higher profit margins rather the high-quality merchandise they were once famous for. The change in the Cabela's culture since the company went public is very obvious in management, products and treatment of employees. Pay is below industry standards by as evidenced by companies to study such things for Cabela's.Talented people leave. There has been a mass exodus in recent months from the VP of marketing right down the line. People who remain have definitely reached their highest level of ineptitude. Employees should be paid a premium if you're working for the world's foremost outfitter and a bonus for living in beautiful Sidney.
