Business outlook
Pros
Exceptional work and lifestyle balance - maybe leaning heavier on the lifestyle side. Great products for anyone who likes the outdoors. Most everyone I have met are good people who love to hunt and fish and love the company. This used to be the main qualifier when hiring someone.
Cons
A feeling that corporate leadership that has been hired through the good 'ol boy hunt fish network and not seasoned business leaders need for the next phase of Cabela's growth. Lack of MBA's or other work experience in top or mid-level management and struggle to set or communicate clear objectives. Sidney, Nebraska is expensive for such a rural location and is about 2 1/2 hours from any larger city.
