All of upper management (think executives) will be gone once the ink is dry on the purchase and the share price has been paid--that was part of the agreement. The VPs, Sr. Directors, Directors, etc. may be kept for a time, but I would presume they... — read more

Love for outdoor recreation brought us here and gave us an opportunity - some of which have remained in the stores 7+ years. Am I the only one feeling incompetent for an upcoming job search? Regret for showing the company loyalty? Anxious about my... — read more
Layoff ?
How soon do employees expect a layoff?
Suddenly all of the people who got laid off in September 2015 weren't actually the unlucky ones.
They had houses that they could still sell and a headstart on a new future.

Educate me
So I am a bit new to this conversation but am in the outdoor industry. It was well known that Cabela's was a sinking ship for the past 4 years or so. Pretty much everything bad said on this site about the stores and merchandising is true according to... — read more
Tommy flat-out lied to Associates and Outfitters. This is why you never trust a big Corporation. !

Leave Cabela's before BP gets its hands on it
It's about to get crazy. I would advise to uproot and move. Especially those that are young and can easily start a new chapter of your life. Even if BP merge goes thru, it will be such a bumpy road for you, and then in the end, only about 20% will... — read more
A week from now, will change happen faster than you would believe?
Some of my co-workers are tending to believe that many big changes will happen rather quickly at our store after the official sale is done and over. I would be delighted if they start with upper management.
Why are there so many firearm thefts? It seems as if there is an incident every week, and they're not all night-time smash and grabs like
Hazelwood. In Springfield a guy walks out the front door with a tactical rifle in the middle of the day. Another site loses 22 handguns. I wonder what the ATF is thinking?
Bwahahahahaha. We give these things away for applying for a Club Card, lol
Honestly, who the eff is bidding on these? https://www.publicsurplus.com/sms/auction/view?auc=1875410
Hope this doesn't happen
Anyone who thinks that a sale to BP is bad should watch this. This is how bad things get if the deal doesn't go through. It could be fatal for Cabela's https://www.yahoo.com/finance/video/failed-walgreens-merger-sends-rite-130500575.html
Deadline for approval
Per Omaha World Herald deadline is July 5th for FTC approval
Higher interest rate card coming out?
Will the bank be taking on less than stellar card customers once it is sold?
What is your plan?
Homeowners in Sidney whose primary income comes from Cabela's- what is your plan if you lose your job and income? Is anyone taking steps now to prepare for this possibility?
Did anybody ever see this video? I found it interesting to say the very least.
