Pros

Get to help people. I was in camping and always doing something. Got to work the amount of hours i wanted. I did more physical work which is what i liked (like moving grills, other big objects, etc.) If you are not wanting that then other departments would be better suited like apparrel, or footwear, or hunting and fishing (who by the way I can not think of once helped me).

Cons

Some of the people are pretty weird, I felt I knew about just as much as the managers after working there for like a month, and closing sucks.

Pros

The customers there were wonderful to talk to

Cons

Had to quit due to team leads aggressive attitude towards me. Also favoritism issues. I can tell they didn't like me since day 1. Today they came to me rudely about mistakes I made instead of doing it professionally. I haven't been there for long and I was still learning. I made a lot of improvements which I was really happy about, but was still learning. As much as I liked working there, the team lead was very rude/unprofessional towards me and it was so bad to the point I had to leave. The same team lead followed me outside and said "good" that I was leaving (in front of customers too). I was improving a lot in the position, I want to hear constructive criticism, but not like this. I was hoping to grow with the store and the company but unfortunately its not meant to be. This could've been 100% been prevented if only they would came to me professionally about this and I would be more than happy to fix any mistakes and do better in the future. But if this is how they treat their coworkers I do not wish to be a part of that toxic culture and headspace. Do better.
