Cabela's – “Job satisfaction highly depends on which department you work in.”

Pros

Working for an leading company in the Cast and Blast sector of the outdoor industry. Great discounts, especially with more years of service. Casual dress code. Some departments have a great work environment.

Cons

Change is not easily embraced by all people/departments. "Silo" effect is omnipresent in regard to interdepartmental communication. Some departments have highly disfunctional management. Higher than average rate of nepotism. "Dead Sea" effect and/or severe lack of work/life balance seems to happen in many fields. High gender inequality.

Advice to Senior Management

Managers should ask for input and follow the advice from the people on the front lines (they are the experts in their field, after all) before making a major decision instead of just informing them when it's been done and making them step up to fix the issues it creates.
