Does basspro/cabelas plan on being competitive at all when it comes to employee benefits? I know we just received a 1 time bonus but we lost another manager to Lowe’s (who has been giving a bonus every month, plus hazard pay). Walmart, Sams, Costco, Target, Home Depot, And Lowe’s seem to be giving out better bonuses/hazard pay. All are hiring in my area and I’m finding it harder not to jump this ship for one of them. BP wants to brag about sales right now but still won’t give out pay raises from last year or start hiring again with better pay to get better employees.

JM wanted the whole enchilada when he took over Cabelas. He is worth billions. Let that sink in.
You would think that a company that get free stores from city bond money could afford to be competitive. Must be poor MGT.
Or is it greed, Johnny?
Former GSM here. I left several months ago and now work for a grocery store. One of the best moves I have ever made. For myself not feeling safe was the last straw but the past year contributed as well. Essentially I managed softlines and my team was directed to cover about 85% of the duties needed to support the front end, hunting and fishing were never required to do the same. I was working about 70 hours a week and still couldn't maintain my departments which stressed me to no end. Now I work my 40 hours and can easily keep up with my duties as well as help others in my new store daily. I also have a lot more time with my family which is easily worth the pay cut. Haven't looked back since.
It is going to be something to see how the upcoming recession will affect BP
Got to save that money to pay for all the New Corporate positions. VPs, Directors, Managers, IT-Security, etc.
Just about every other place pays more than Cabela’s and Bass Pro. Even McDonalds does.
My store is struggling at the moment to find good people. New hires are being paid way lower than other places and it shows.
In the Midwest Menards is hiring stockers @ $12-14 an hour. Cabelas pays $10 an hour but doesn't offer raises.
