What's the company culture at Cabela's?

Every business has it's own style. What is the office environment and culture like at Cabela's?

Are people dressed in business casual, jeans and t-shirts, or full-on suits? Do folks get together for Friday happy hours and friendly get-togethers?

What is a typical day in the life of an employee at Cabela's?

Cabela's as a company is disorganized with managment knowing little of what actally takes place. I worked at one of their distribution centers and was layed off although my attendance was perfect and my production rate was normal that of what it had to be. They could give me no reason as to why I was being layed off> i really dont think they knew. So not only do they lay me off but several other good workers with much similair attendance and production. So what else do they do.
Not only fire their best workers but keep those who practically didn't do anything but collect a pay check. These not so hard working individuals were only still there because they were the favorites. It is all a game of Favortism to this company. They wanted you to be a puppet and everyone in managment thought they were the puppet master. This company thinks they can get away with anything and do whatever they want when they want. They continue to get away with breaking haz-mat and labor laws because people are afraid if they speak out they will lose thier jobs. As far as I am concerned cabela's is the worst company to work for and gives you little incentive to succeed. I suggest you never work at any Cabela's location.

I was a seasonal employee in the warehouse as a lift driver. I wore casual clothes that I was willing to get dusty or dirty. Basically your jeans and t-shirt with tennis shoes. Any get togethers outside of work is entirely on the employees individually. As far as morale and work, they did provide holiday meals like turkey dinner for Thanksgiving, etc holidays, and every now and then a rewarding lunch for great productions in the department- (i.e. a 'pizza party')
I personally didn't enjoy the Cabela's family/work area but it was a job... and every job has it's flaws.

So what else do they do.

I see this in their Wisconsin store...I have seen many highly qualified good employees get the boot, and the lackies are still there. They also seem to be trending toward firing the full time original employees and replacing them with part-time people at $1.25 less/hour.

Cabelas is a horrible place to work.the favortism in the wheeling d.c. is so bad people are quitting.

I agree fully there are also favorits. They say there not but you can see it plain as day. They do let the ones that do there job go. The ones don't know anything they keep.

This sounds like a disgruntled employee. I have worked for this company 15 years and sure I have had my moments of unhappyness. But if you don't like what you are doing transfer out.

Frankly, I think you'd be disgruntled as well if you had been inexplicably layed-off after serving Cabela's faithfully.
