I joined the company in Feb 2011 and in my last 5+ years of stay here, I can surely say that this is the best anybody can get in terms of the people around me, management team, work environment, benefits & everything else. I will value every moment... — read more
Sidney, Nebraska: screwing corporate employees long enough.
I moved from a city to live in Sidney and work at Cabela's. The company for the most part was wonderful to work for and my department a dream in family matters and personal matters. The city of Sidney, however, is a complete sh--hole. For far too... — read more
What Happened?
I recently stumbled on this site after hearing a rumor the Hamburg store was closing. I'd been a Cabela's customer long before the Hamburg store opened. I attended the soft as well as the Grand Openings. When my kids were young, I used to take them... — read more
Hey Hamburg Management
Why not stop reading these posts and start doing your jobs?
Another round today. Fun fun.
Corporate cuts today. What is it - four weeks to bonus? Gee - I wonder how many others there will be, right before checks are cut.
Looking back
I am looking at the recent earnings statement. I am proud to say I was with the company a few years ago when we were making good profits, EBITDA and revenue numbers. You all may not have liked me then ! Maybe I did know something. Best wishes on your... — read more
Don't forget that reducing expenses get's Tommy boy lots of extra money so he can send his Briard show dog to Westminster in New York.
Check the results, his dog was there. Wonder if the dog and wife flew in on the corporate jet to New York?✈️ 🐕🏆
Outsourced to an Indian Compan
I heard the rumor that Cabela's may be outsourcing work to Indian company. Is this true. If yes, I will never set my foot in your store again - you make enough money to employ US workers and pay them fair wages, if you chose a path of betrayal and... — read more

Layoff ramp ups
Rumors that 8 were let go at corp late last week, and an earnings call coming soon following a year that hasn't looked good for any retailer. Sounds like there will be a ramp-up of layoffs through February so they can include announcements of that on... — read more
What is starting pay for part-timers at your store?
I think the Maine store still starts part-timers at $9/hour. Same as it was when they opened in 2008 if I am correct.

Rumors about Cabela's in ME
Sale to Bass Pro?
Expectations?
Any other stores getting new "expectations", especially themed around cleanliness? Our GM used the word Big Box Retailer.....I thought this is what we weren't and what separated us from everyone else.
Sidney troubles
No one is buying houses in Sidney and residents are tightening up and not spending money. All the businesses in town are affected. The city had to seek another avenue of financing for the pool. To sum everything up, things are not good and it seems... — read more
Bass Pro / Field and Stream
