Pros

The best part about the company is the brand itself and the discount. When I think of Bootbarn I think of that true American brand. The company had potential to be that but lacks the clarity on how to get there. For me it was hard to watch a company that could be something so great is settling for mediocre because it's easier.

Cons

Senior leadership is a boys club that that's jumped from company to company together so they know each other well. That being said, if your not in the click it's tough to get your voice heard. The company doesn't have a clear vision on where they want to go but they also don't know how to drive the business foreword. I worked at the corporate office and customer service wasn't a priority. They were so disrespectful to the field teams at times it was hard to watch. There is little communication across the organization for company initiatives. Each department does their own thing in their silo and there is little department partnership.

Pros

The work is extremely easy and repetitive. The supervisor on my shift is very understanding, they have a lot of game days for the holidays.

Cons

A lot of racism and favoritism kind of like high school, majority of the warehouse doesn’t speak English only the supervisors and upper management. They encourage laziness and over work the decent workers, if it’s a problem with anything it is not taken seriously or correctly once the senior manager don’t like you he tries to intimidate you and you can forget about ever getting a promotion. If you ever get a write up they never fall off and they will never let you become a lead or anything else no matter if it’s over attendance an accident anything it’s not in the policy but that’s the excuse they give so no room for growth people are really lazy sitting all around on there phones or hiding in the bathroom for hours it’s never addressed just more work for the decent workers no structure a lot of people there are friends and family so like I said it’s never any discipline. You can get hired and become a lead the next day without knowing a thing and they expect you to train them a big big turn over rate the lack of leadership is what makes the job unbearable. The benefits suck as well I pay for the highest plan but my out of pocket cost is still always extremely high and it’s no 401k plan either
