Seems the majority of the topics are about Sidney/Corporate and retail. Anyone have anything to say about the bank? What will happen if/when the bank is sold? Will it remain in Lincoln?
That smell wafting across the Sidney Plains
That smell you smell wafting these past couple days is the smell of Tommy's v----a, being wafted all the way from his vacation in Africa. Real big man you are to be on another continent while they let an entire department of people go under your... — read more
Coming to a Cabelas near you...........
Starting immediately the fish in the tank will be limited to “ONE” minnow every 2 days. We are cutting out the midday worm snack and we’d appreciate the outfitters not bring food from home to feed them as we don’t want to spoil the fish. All bathroom... — read more
Wow Sidney seems to be in a quandry
Having stumbled upon this site, at first I was midly amused and considered most of the rants by those who perceived that they have been handed a raw deal, whiners and cry babys. Then as it progessed I became alarmed at the accusations and comments... — read more
No more friends and family for me!
I picked up the cards AND the envelopes but I only gave three away. I am not going to invite people into my "home" when I know they won't be taken care of.
Tractor disaster
Remember what brought you to the table - sage advice from the founders - now a joke. Cabela's and tractors - really - what a wast of time, effort, funds and retail effort. What a joke. Someone's ego gone awry. Like tommy - a complete joke
Have a friend or be part of the family
6 figure salaries for family members that work at this place. 5 figure bonus for those people as well. Friends of leaders getting promoted for that reason alone. If you want to work here, don't worry about credentials, education, or... — read more
"Couple dozen" people impacted= 157 people who were sat through the Kiss Your Job Goodbye PowerPoint.
No wonder they had problems with the books. They don't even know what a couple dozen amounts to.
Sidney.....you have a problem
It looks like the party is over. It was a good run up until 3 years ago. It’s unfortunate that the “Vision 2020” lacks the substance and most important the DIRECTION it needs. Don’t get me wrong it does have some direction….dead SOUTH….and we are... — read more
KSID: Journalism you can trust
I sure wish KSID would take the attitude of looking for proof before reporting when it came to their praises of this buyout. They praise that there will be new jobs. 100+ people displaced but fear not! Around 30 jobs might open that you can apply... — read more
New layoffs announced...
Just announced- creative dept dissolved - 3rd party coming in and taking TAGS elsewhere- over 100 employed no more-
Money over family
Congratulations to Cabela's for taking away another thing from the employees, family time! No more closing early on certain holidays so employees can be with their families. What's next Cabelas? Are we going to be open Thanksgiving and Christmas... — read more
Do managers lurk here?
I wonder if any of our managers keep an eye on this forum.
The party's over
We've been posting and venting for months now. We are insignificant drones. The fat cats and 1%ers win again. We were once the middle class. We could earn a livable income. No more. We've become a service economy and we will soon be servants. There... — read more
Rumors swirling
Announcement of a sale to possibly be made before the shareholder meeting Friday
Business Model???
I read the back and forth on this and I think everyone can come to the same conclusion. Since going public, Cabela's has degraded from a successful business model to a pot of money for the upper echelon and big time share holders take everything they... — read more
Open availability or get fired?
We were all told this morning that everyone in the store has to have open availability or you will be let go effective immediately. They say part timers now have to be available at least 16 hours and be able to work every weekend. There's some kind... — read more
Did all the stores get their IMAs laid off?
Our store let go our IMAs this week. Kept two PT ones.
How can this be happening?
I have been reading these posts for a couple of months now. What I find interesting is there is no middle ground. Looks to me like the majority of the people posting are angry and scared about their future, whereas, the few people who are being... — read more

Omaha World-Herald reporter interested in talking with employees
Hi all, I have been keeping up with your posts and this story. Still interested in talking to employees about what has been going on within Cabela's. Any recent layoffs? What are you hearing? Please give me a call - 402-444-1414. I know everyone is... — read more
T is for Takeover, Turmoil and Tommy
I think it has been made pretty obvious by Milner that the company is going to sell but we won't be told until they're booting us out the door. Obviously because of Insider trading we can't know what step of the process they're in but we do know once... — read more

It is truly a sad day when things like this happen.....You cant get away with it forever though
Within 10 days of the entry of this Order: (1) Respondent Cabela’s shall pay a civil money penalty in the amount of $1,000,000 to the Securities and Exchange Commission for transfer to the general fund of the United States Treasury, subject to... — read more
WOW the SEC violations
I am shocked in reading how the books were cooked to reflect a better than actual merchandise margin. It is very unfortunate that officers have become wealthy through Cabelas and that they were aware of what was actually going on. I feel so bad that... — read more

Looming Sale
I heard from a manager at corporate offices in Sidney that Bass Pro is walking around the property today. Seems to coincide with articles saying Bass Pro got funding approved from Goldman... — read more
How I feel living in Sidney
If you ever have seen the recent Deadpool movie, it is the scene where Deadpool(Bass Pro) is on the Zamboni and going to crush that guy(Cabela's). At least we are still getting paid for the time being i guess.
Tommy the Best
With my 25 yrs of experience at Cabelas, I can see Tommy as the best of all other peers & cabelas family members. To list a few, his way of visioning, strategizing & handling tough situations are outrageous. Without him & with the past leadership... — read more
Housing Slum Lords
I too have to agree about the town of Sidney itself and the corruptness. I know first had that the housing situation there is beyond horrid! The landlords that bought up housing that should have been condemned and never did one ounce of repairs will... — read more
Headcount?
Was asked the other day how many we've lost, and I can't keep track. Seems about 99% of the positions posted must be being offered to existing staff at corporate - the jobs post for 5 days and then disappear, and don't see new families moving in to... — read more
Thank God I am out of there..............
