Pros

I worked with great people and was able to grow personally and within the company to a large degree.

Cons

Lukas Rashall, Lukas will make sure that everybody knows that they are replaceable and he WILL replace them without batting and eye. The sad truth for Al's, Lukas is the first person that they need to replace to move forward. From his incredibly unprofessional attitude to his anger issues; Lukas is an exact embodiment of the last person a company would want managing people. He will write people up and even fire them for things that they say and then proceed to say some of the most vile things you've ever heard and talk bad about everyone, and I mean everyone, behind their back. Not only and Jase and Kris Larsen, the President and CEO, not exceptions to this, but they are usually the primary target. Since my employment at Al's I have heard only 2 things from the people I made friendships with that are still there. 1. Lukas has gone off the deep end and is literally showing up to work and yelling at the closest people to him. 2. They still have no idea why I was let go from the company other than Lukas saying a few days prior, "I'm just so frustrated with everything I think I'm just going to lose it and fire someone." And yes, that is a direct quote.

Pros

Employee discounts on great quality equipment. Most of the standard level employees are good people who really enjoy the outdoors.

Cons

Not so good base pricing on great merchandise. Management (The Larsen's in particular) are people i'm happy to no longer be working for. They don't care about their employees and exploit them in any way they can because they are the big dogs in Logan. They flat out lie in order to "not" fire people and make it so they don't have to do any sort of severance. They have thrown away some good people (people who have worked there for years) and used higher up employees to do so because they are in fear of falling out of the good graces of the owners. They get involved into your personal life and determine whether or not you can work the hours they want you to. They underpay many of their employees because they know there are many college students in Logan that need employment and enjoy the outdoors. NOT A GOOD PLACE TO WORK IF YOU HAVE A SECOND JOB! They are not flexible especially around the holidays and they have no sort of loyalty to senior staff or the locals that work there. They also employ very shady business tactics in order to greatly profit from their online sales scheme. I will not return there even as a customer and I welcome ANY sort of competition in the Sporting Good business. Bring on DlCK'S and get THESE one's out of the great outdoor loving town that is Logan.
