Pros

Bass Pro Shops has a strong team culture, and the people are one of the best parts of working here. I've had the opportunity to work with talented and supportive coworkers who are willing to collaborate and help each other succeed. The company also offers exposure to large-scale marketing initiatives and provides opportunities to work on a variety of projects across multiple channels and business areas.

Cons

The compensation and benefits package could be more competitive, especially when compared to similar marketing roles in the industry. Project timelines are often extremely aggressive, leaving little room for unexpected challenges and creating a fast-paced, high-pressure environment. While the work can be rewarding, the combination of tight deadlines and limited resources can make it difficult to maintain a healthy work-life balance at times.

Pros

General coworker relationships are positive. Lots of walking around and moving, which keeps you active. That is about it...

Cons

Where to start? The root of the many issues of this company is that upper management (who make all the decisions) is so far removed from the people who the actual decisions and changes affect. Decisions are made in a vacuum, and employees are treated as numbers on a spreadsheet. Bass Pro is a true corporation in the cliche sense. Work here if you are okay with making below-average to average pay and dreading going to work. Another huge issue is what they allow the customers to get away with. Appalling, really, and some customers should be ashamed of the way they act, but people will always take as much as you allow and then some, so really it starts with the company setting clear boundaries that protect ITSELF but also its employees.
