Has potential to be a great place to work but management is terrible

RV Technician (Current Employee) - Thornburg, VA - July 16, 2022

Could be a great job but not enough quality work and expected to perform free labor often. Nobody stays long as it is so unorganized. The work is decent when it is there

Meeting new people was a benfeit

RV Sales Associate (Former Employee) - Wichita, KS - March 21, 2022

But that was about it. All long hours, to make okay to decent money. If you have a family and want to see them, stay away. Management are all in it for themselves and take advantage of customers

Pros

Sometimes they provide lunch on Saturday

Cons

No home life. Its all about grinding

Not a bad starter

Customer Service Representative (Former Employee) - Fredericksburg, VA - March 11, 2022

It’s a good start to getting into retail, teaches you about sales. Downfall is they don’t seem to want to give employees raises because of the commission.

Retail so a lot of hours during the holidays.

Good part time job

Fishing Sales Associate (Former Employee) - Spring, TX - August 28, 2021

If you are looking for 20-25 hours a week this might be a good choice for you. They do not follow their own stocking plan which makes it very disorganized all around.

Pros

40% discount, average pay

Cons

Not enough hours, disorganized, no stable management

The people I work with is the only highlight

Receptionist (Former Employee) - Ashland, VA - July 25, 2021

Coworkers are great. Good advancement if you want to put in the time. Raises are hard to get if your hourly. Sometimes you'll get free food on Saturdays

It's decent if you're starting out.

Specialist (Current Employee) - Lebanon, IN - June 25, 2021

I would recommend working here if it's your first job to get your feet wet in the working world, but I wouldn't want to retire from this place. It's just not worth the prolonged wear and tear in your body.

Pros

Nice coworkers

Cons

Benefits could be more affordable, Consistent overtime with no end in sight, Issues don't get taken into consideration, No pay incentives

Disorganized and disrespectful

Parts Specialist (Former Employee) - Ridgeland SC - May 23, 2021

I helped open the Ridgeland store and it was extremely disorganized. I had so much trouble getting paid that I had to call corporate. The best way to run off good employees is to not pay them on time.

Fun workplace.

Manager (Current Employee) - United States of America - April 30, 2021

Experiences vary by location. Management and your coworkers will make or break you. Lots of responsibilities for extremely low pay. Education and experience do not matter. Pay scales are set and will not be deviated from. Cut all of our pay during the middle of the pandemic while we were extremely profitable.

Pros

Great discounts.

Cons

Low pay, lots of responsibility.

Disorganized

Assistant Store Manager (Former Employee) - Huber Heights, OH - March 28, 2021

Disorganized mess, and poor communication. The store manager at this particular store when he does decide to do anything is uncooperative and unappreciative.

Cons

Almost no benefits

Bad place to be employed

Service General Manager (Former Employee) - Wheat Ridge, CO - December 4, 2020

Only way you can work here and make a living is by stroking the managements ego also the lack of a sufficient work load on a flat rate salary is not good for the moral of the shop this is camping world in a different suit and they only want the cheapest employees and do not consider what Impact.

Pros

Was close to my house

Cons

Lack of fare compensation health care package sucks management insults employees

Flat-Rate service techs taken advantage of

Service Technician (Former Employee) - Hermantown, MN - November 30, 2020

Flat-Rate service techs are required to fix campers whether warranty work is approved or not, and you don't get paid for it. 40 hr work week and they'll pay out 19 hours. If you question it, you're the bad guy. The entire service department is completely dependent on service techs (e.g. parts ordering, labor estimates, retail part sales). They rely on techs for knowledge in all these areas but do not compensate for said skills/knowledge. Work is fun, but only if you get paid for it.

Pros

Work varys from day to day.

Cons

Everything else

Great place to work

BDC Administrator (Former Employee) - Oklahoma City, OK - October 15, 2020

I loved working at Gander RV. They are very flexible with schedules and family oriented. There are not really any good benefits besides time off and some paid Holidays. Overall it was a pleasure working there.
