Positive Reviews From Cabela's Employees

  • What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?
    There is nothing postivie about the company.
  • What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?
    The fact there are groups of people keeping the store afloat by working together through general management's terrible choices or corporates questionability for work policy updates some guy somewhere is making too much money for ideas that make zero sense
  • What makes you most happy at work?
    the passion of working with something i love which is firearms and hunting, its like being a mechanic in a dream dealership and working with your favorite cars to your favorite parts but for me and firearms

Constructive Feedback From Cabela's Employees

  • What needs to change to make the company culture better?
    The hourly amount that is paid
  • Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
    My job/ethics are not taken into account when considering my pay. I work above my paygrade but Cabela's could care less. People are genuinely trying to do better jobs but Cabela's does not recognize the talent they have.
  • What does the leadership team need to get better at?
    Communication could be much better, some managers have one way of doing things and other managers have a different way. Management and the outfitters are taught differently on how things are ran. The only care the management has is if you get a club referral. $1 on your paycheck and $5,000 to cabela
