Backcountry.com Employee Reviews

Not an energizing, motivating place to work. No talk about personal growth or upward movement in the company. No Holiday party, fun things planned to help us connect. Worried about "little things" too much.

The people you work with a great, it's the programs, software, removal of perks over the years and no pay increase in over a year that is off putting. In reality it might be time to move on.

Amazing, balance and passionate to go to work

The restructuring on the work floor is failing and the executive team has not clue what they are doing to the workforce in the D.C. Local management has no say in how the floor is structured anymore. It's all ran from someone that has no clue.

The Warehouse directors only about numbers and chopping the staff in half so they can hire new employees at lower pay and still hopefully force them to get the same results or immediatley fire them.

My direct manager allows me to be myself and speak my mind. I feel we are together in a struggle working to make improvements that simply bounce off deaf ears.

Caring of the people that work there

The way in which the structures are setup at BC lends itself to zero accountability for anyone within the company. Most of the leadership is aware of this, however enough of them are oblivious to this and conduct themselves accordingly or obliviously to put it more bluntly.

Teamwork and always help you succeed in your task

They are easily approachable, and relatable.

Trust in the management that is in place at each D.C and let the manage the work force like they did in the past.

Everything under the sun! They treat the warehouse employees like garbage literally switching our whole shifts and jobs around while also not training the employees in their new positions! They just recently did a giant restructure that has no thought for the employee and only makijg more money

Sustainability. There are no efforts to address their environmental impact and they are making poor fitting, low quality clothing using questionable sources to try to expand their profits in casual clothing areas.

401K and salary for the area

Health and 401k helps alot

Group price is amazing compared to what I would have to pay for individual

We get an employee discount.

compensation to match inflation, performance incentives, better computers and programs to make tasks more efficient. Everyday is a constant struggle with software that simply does not work or is slow and tedious. More efficient SOP's

As Backcountry opens stores in expensive locations, they make no attempt to pay associates more in those expensive areas. Employees are finding it increasingly difficult to live where they work.

Having more time off. Home life is more important to me.

Average salary for my position: $45-50k. Actual pay with 10+ hours overtime a week: $37k

Hard working and honest about how terrible the place is run. They want a good place to work and thrive and want the company to be better but hit roadblocks every step of the way. Leadership does Not listen to the workers. "They think they know it All". I implore them to engage with the workers.

The understanding that the restructuring and the way we operate now is not controlled by local management

The regular folks at BC have amazing soft skills. Maybe it is the disconnect between the teams that makes this place the pinnacle of efficiency...sarcasm

The people under management are all pretty cool its just as soon as you go up the ladder all they care about is if you are hitting numbers or why you are off task or late back from break by 2 minutes when you have to walk accros the warehouse to even start your job

The Gear Heads are generally people that are stoked to be outside and get people in good gear. It is fun to interact with them.

Everyone in the DC get along with everyone

Everyone leave the negativity once they enter Backcountry door

Everyone has great attitude and work well with others

Depends on what department you work in and who your manager is

focus on encouraging outdoor adventures.

Effective communication and established standards

Terrible cliques, petty fighting, lazy workers.

They relaxing, no stress questions, and friendly

The walkthrough and able to answer all the questions

Informational and respectable. polite and straight to the point

its been a while but it is a normal interview process.

Talking with several key customers and my manager.

The challenge. I'm very competitive

Getting the job done and reaching out daily goals

Break from home life and most of my coworkers

Go back to the way we use to operate, and let local managers and supervision make the movement of employees.

Backcountry needs to stop being greedy and consider their employees more

Previous law suits are still impacting how the business is perceived. Their jump into fast fashion and low quality gear will further damage their image.

Bad planning, no long term company objectives. Egos.
