It is so unfortunate that so many had to pay such a heavy price for the poor decisions of a few hogs - what was once the darling of the outdoor industry is now looked upon as a joke - what was once a company founded on active participation in the outdoors via employees and management is now a big box joke. Vendors have countless stories of deceit, late payments, knockoffs and a continuing degradation of quality. And the legendary customer service is now a joke. It all goes back to a management team that has arisen from big box mentality - it is strictly about the dollar and the top echelon making every penny they can personally by a total disregard for the employee base that built the company. Layoffs and mass firings are truly a joke to them and think of it, a CEO who gets a 6 million dollar bonus and then 3,000 people are let go after the founder passes away - in reading the posts and knowing the management team, I can assure you that they are laughing their a's off as everyone suffers - thinking of the next bonus! So very, very sad.
