Cabela's job reviews
-
Best thing
Best thing about my job is the friendships I make with other coworkers.
Worst thing
Managers have no interest in helping you compete tasks in a timely manner, they also demand you complete their goals without properly communicating what it is that needs doing. Unfortunately the most important thing to the company is credit card sales.
Sales associate at Cabela's, May 2025

Best thing
Coworkers, 50% discount on house brands
Worst thing
General manager, micromanaging, the stress they put on selling credit cards, no free shipping same as non employees on the website. Lack of pay, the seemingly lack of care for you if you don’t drink the kool-aid
