Pros
It wasn't very hard work and pay is over minimum wage. You will also meet many interesting people here. One of my coworkers was a lead project manager for his main job and he just worked at cabelas for a couple hours a week to get the discount on fishing supplies.
Cons
If your team is made up of slackers and you are not a slacker, you are expected to do more. I once had to prepare the entire department for inventory. I had a partner, but his girlfriend would come in for hours and he acted like she was a customer so that he could "assist her". Management is absent lots of the time and you have to fend for yourself. Also, as a woman, many customers thought it was ok to touch me. This happened in front of management a few times and they did nothing about it. Or they didn't recognize that they needed to do something. One MAJOR con is the club card. You are expected to sell 20 a year, which isn't a big goal or a big deal. What is the issue is how much they hound you every hour of everyday about it. This also reminds me that you have to have a radio in your ear every second of the day. This is for communication which I thought was going to be great. Turns out they just want to do an announcement every five seconds about club cards.

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.

Pros
The discount is amazing. Its really the only perk about working there.
Cons
Credit Cards. All day. All they care about. Typical retail, customer base isn't bad at all, but always a few bad apples. Management isn't all that terrible, but our location goes through gms like jeans.

Hours, schedule and pay is abyssal.
- Current Employee, more than 3 years★★★★★
Pros
Good pay and good co-workers.
Cons
Mandatory OT all the time Turn over rate due to that OT is astounding, it is not told to people up front. They show up for their first shift and told to pick a day to work OT. So you're either working 4 12s or 5 10s every week. Management has gone down the drain, they care more about numbers than their employees. Sometimes they schedule their people 14 12hr shifts in a row.
