Pros

Employee discount/holiday pay Honestly spend sometime thinking of pros but there are so few.

Cons

Does practice what they preach. Refuses to honor veterans and first responders with a simple discount. You try looking at an old Vet in the eyes and telling them there is no discount for them… on Veterans Day. Treats employees terrible and company will never give you a decent raise. You’ll be lucky if you can pay your bills on a 5.11 salary Bonus structure is ridiculous and hard to reach. Top management gets all the money and it doesn’t seem to trickle down to the ACTUAL People running the store on the ground. Top management will only see you as another body and not for the hard worker you are. You will never be praised for your hard work and will be quickly “disciplined” if you slip up slightly in anyway.

Pros

Compared to my prior employer, the workload is much reduced while the pay is a substantial increase. I feel that store and District leadership is a lot more willing to back you up compared to Prior employers I've had, and there is a good amount of freedom to be had. The company is also expanding so the opportunity for growth is also higher than with other Industries right now.

Cons

The company seems to be a bit schizophrenic at the moment when it comes to certain things and operations are suffering to a degree because of it.
