Pros

Working with customers is great and brings great personal satisfaction. No pushy commission sales required. Great employee discounts on Bass Pro branded items. Best in the retail industry. Pro plan allows you to get great discounts on products within your department to evaluate and enjoy. Employee discounts on boats as well. Johnny Morris is truly a great person and a pleasure to be associated with.

Cons

Poor department managers. Can be very inflexible when it comes to schedules. Can be vindictive and use the schedule as punishment as well. They preach family values but truly have no concern for them. Not willing to pay for experience.

Pros

Bass Pro Shops has a strong team culture, and the people are one of the best parts of working here. I've had the opportunity to work with talented and supportive coworkers who are willing to collaborate and help each other succeed. The company also offers exposure to large-scale marketing initiatives and provides opportunities to work on a variety of projects across multiple channels and business areas.

Cons

The compensation and benefits package could be more competitive, especially when compared to similar marketing roles in the industry. Project timelines are often extremely aggressive, leaving little room for unexpected challenges and creating a fast-paced, high-pressure environment. While the work can be rewarding, the combination of tight deadlines and limited resources can make it difficult to maintain a healthy work-life balance at times.
