Anonymous Interview Candidate
I interviewed at Cabela's
Great experience. Very pleasant interaction. Would definitely recommend that you interview here. Good people good culture but not the right fit for me. Don’t let them scare you. They are a bunch of big softees
- How much do you like fish?
Anonymous Interview Candidate
I interviewed at Cabela's
Slow, timely, and unresponsive after the interview. Never heard back from the manager or HR. Very far location not around anything. Parking was free though which was nice. Newer building.
- What do you know about the company
Anonymous Employee
I interviewed at Cabela's
It was not too bad. Very very quick. Simple questions and not stressful in the slightest. The weirdest part was getting both the first and second interviews in one day and then becoming employed all in the span of one hour.
- What was your biggest struggle and how did you overcome it?
Anonymous Employee in Regina, SK
I applied in-person. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Cabela's (Regina, SK) in Aug 2022
Very friendly, generic questions about previous customer service experience. It was a walk-in hiring fair and I answered questions about my availability and work areas of interest, followed by a 15-min wait and then an interview in an office with a manager.
- How have you dealt with unruly customers at your previous customer service jobs?
Anonymous Employee
I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Cabela's
Ridiculous. Waste of time. If anyone with a pulse was willing to work for minimum wage in an unbelievably high-stress environment, you were in. Woman had never had any supervisory training in her lifetime.
- Are you willing to work for next to nothing?
Anonymous Employee in Edmonton, AB
I applied online. I interviewed at Cabela's (Edmonton, AB) in Apr 2022
Very friendly, casual conversation about what makes a good shopping experience. Questions about their products and what I did outdoors. Do I know about their various departments. Why is good customer service important.
- Why is customer service important, how can you make a shopping experience good for someone?
Anonymous Employee

- Difficult situation with customers, etc
Anonymous Employee

Went to see them. Interviewed with several levels of management. Toured the store. Met employees from the department. Waited several days. Received call from the manager to offer the job.
- What are the hours for the position?
Anonymous Employee
I interviewed at Cabela's
It was very easy the Manager was super friendly. He explained things to me about the company and his excpections as the manager. Showed me around the store. It was very painless
- Tell me about a difficult customer how did you handle the situation.
Anonymous Employee in Pasadena, TX
I applied in-person. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Cabela's (Pasadena, TX)
The interview process was very comfortable. The two interviewers (managers and lead) read some basic interview questions off of a paper and also asked a few of their own questions. They explained the importance of the Cabela’s CLUB Mastercard as well as why it’s an important pillar of the business. I had an answer day of that I had been offered the position.
- Explain a time when you had to make a tough moral decision at work.
