Pros
The benefits package is top notch. Every time I see a new doctor they are suprised by how much my coverage pays for. Not to mention the retirement and profit sharing plan... You get great perks and discounts. It doesn't seem to matter which store you are in the people are friendly and knowledgeable. Everyone legitimatly enjoys working here. All this fun and I get paid too? I really appreciate how supportive my company and team members are. Whether its a new outdoor activity or a life change, they support you in any way possible. This creates a great sense of balance between work and personal life. The pay is quite good when compared to other retailers. Retail is retail and I probably won't get rich working here but I will have a fulfilling career and won't wake up every day not wanting to go to work.
Cons
Retail in general can be a stressful environment. Some people would not be able to cope with the fast paced, ever changing environment. The schedule is flexible but that can make it difficult to have a pattern. This is particularily difficult for some when their spouse does not have the same flexibility. Fortunatly for me these points are desireable so I have found the perfect fit.
