Cabela's Inc. Employer Reviews

Both full time and part time workers get their hours cut often. Do not work here if you expect a consistent paycheck.
The pay is very low. Expect only .25 more per hour on your yearly review. The managers are not good and most should be let go. Since this company went "corporate", things have gone downhill. It isn't about helping the customer, it is – more... pushing sales quotas daily. If you do not make your quota, your job is threatened. There is an extremely high turnover rate that they don't tell you upon hiring. – less

When I first started working at the call center in Lincoln NE it was great. My manager was wonderful! Then after my manager had worked for the company for over 20 years, she was forced to step down and take another position in a different department because of some people that were allowed to bully her and her boss's would not help her. Once she left – more... and new management came in, the department went down hill. The philosophy of the management now is "how is this going to benefit me?" It is a terrible place to work if you want benefits, being told you are doing a good job, rewarded for doing extra or getting promoted on merit. – less

Customer service, merchandising. The most enjoyable part is the fact that people come into Cabela's because they want to not because they need to. The hardest part about the job is not being knowledge on everything. When a customer comes into the store, I want to be able to outfit them completely with what they are looking for, that's why we are called – more... outfitters. – less

sold knives and hunting apparel and equipment during the Christmas season it slowed down alot and hours were cut back over time.

Forget full-time.....and unless you're a man forget any advancement. People are nice, but the administration is not concerned with the needs of the employees that keep it functioning. Work faster, with less people, so our numbers look good,

the job was amazing as was the benefits but the management was horrible.

I have worked at Cabelas for 3 years now.
I have noticed that if you work hard and show eagerness to improve, you will go far. The management here is eager to get people on their team that will work hard. I have learned a lot about retail operations, warehouse management, and inventory systems while I was here because I have worked with all aspects – more... of the operations dept. – less

the different array of customers kept the job interesting everday

Lot of COA, if you have a god father in IT you'll get promotion else just salary.

I truly enjoyed working at Cabela's. It was easy work for the most part, but you were always on your feet. The people coming in and out of the store were usually nice, and the rude customers weren't hard to deal with. The store discount was probably the best part.

My time here at Cabela's was great. The benefits were suitable, the pay was helpful, and the staff and management alike were like family. It seemed however that when you get the "crowd favorite" telling lies however, that everyone believes her, thus how I lost my job there

While working for cabela's you never know from day to day if you will have a job or not. its not if you do a good job its if the managers like you or not. If your "one of the guys" you will be ok... if not, see you later. If you love to hunt and fish say goodbye to it, you wont get any weekends off. some part timers have worked as many as 16 weekends – more... in a row. – less

Great place to work. HARD to get full time if you don't suck up.

If you apply for a managers position be aware you will no longer be afforded a life. The manages are expected to work 12+ hours a day and based on hourly wages you will make less then the people you manage. Then when you given you life,blood, sweat, and tears, you are let go...keep loking, you can do better..

No family life, no real time off and the management team are like a bunch of high school kids. Not a good place to work. The Cabela's brothers should be very sad.

I worked at Cabela's for one month as I was waiting for a desired position with another company to be approved. For the 4 weeks I worked there I really enjoyed the customers and their attitudes in the environment. It was more like a museum than a store which made it fun! I would definatley work there again.

cabelas is a great place to work. Though sometimes there are middle managers with to much power on there hands. Upper management is great and easy to get along with/talk to. The hours are not bad, Fall and winter is when the most activity happens

Cabelas is a nice place to work, They focus in on customer satisfaction, honesty and integrity.
