Not true at the Cabela’s store I worked at.


CDB is right. If you're in a retail location that's close to a corporate office or close to the home of a field rep, you MIGHT get them to come by and train you.

I worked @ the Scheels in Grand Forks ND and we didn't see anywhere near as many reps for training as they did in Fargo just 80Mi down the road. The Scheels Corporate offices are in Fargo so obviously the reps would go there but only a very few would drive just over an hr. to train @ another store unless it was on their way to/from somewhere else.
