Pros

employee discount is decent if you or your loved one is into sports or camping

Cons

they train salesmen like a car dealership. you're constantly expected to get people to sign up for a mailing list when most customers only come in to the store because of the mailing list.

Pros

Most employees were really fun to work with, life/work balance was great, taught me good life skills, good first job for work experience.

Cons

Barely got scheduled (pretty sure my location was way over employed), occasional rude and entitled costumers (especially during the holidays), could get very slow and boring at times, sketchy area, overal, not a great job if you're looking for something that pays well.
