Pros

Plenty of jobs available if you don't plan on staying long and look at it as a stepping stone to better opportunities in a better place.

Cons

The weather in Sidney is horrible. Too hot to go outside in the summer; too cold to go outside in the winter. The other two days are fine! Dirty; windy and smelly depending on the wind direction. There is no middle ground. If you've move from somewhere where there's water and trees, you won't be happy. If you think Cabela's is all about the outdoor life, think again. The corporate headquarters is in the middle of nowhere! There's absolutely nothing in Sidney. No amenities, not one great place to eat, no chains; you can't even get a Whopper within 40 miles. The company is making lots of money. That is their only concern. The management the use to be made up of hardcore outdoor people are gone.
