Pros

I didn't work there for very long as it was just for the summer and I had to go back to school, but I really did enjoy working there. My boss was focused and direct but also cool and had a great sense of humor, and my coworkers were also interesting and respectful individuals that I enjoyed conversing with.

Cons

Unfortunately, after being acquired by Bass Pro, they started drastically cutting costs. During my time at Cabela's we were using iPods with a proprietary case and software used for scanning store items and other store-related tasks, and they worked very well and were very easy to use. However, Bass Pro has been trying to phase out the employee iPods and is replacing them with scanning devices from 20 years ago, and these devices are loaded with a special type of Windows that looks extremely similar to Windows 95. Suffice to say, these scanning devices are not nearly as intuitive and efficient as the iPods, but Bass Pro is implementing them in Cabela's stores because apparently they will somehow be overall less expensive, which I find dubious at best.
