I won't reveal who said it or where but I have heard this from 2 employees of stores and 1 other I asked to verify. All three said CW threatens them with termination if they don't recruit a certain number of new members each month. Isn't CW a member store? It really isn't conducive to non-members even entering and in the winter up north can get really slow. Is this really what you do? I only ask because you pay the same as Walmart. I worked for McDonnnell Douglas Flight Test and they threatened us every day saying they could replace us but we would just reply,"Go ahead, you have to train the newbie for 10 years and think of the liability of a no experienced Aviation Mechanic, remember the DC 10 fiasco."

Quotas have been used in almost every industry since time began. CW is a no different.The other issue is, if you don't like the working conditions, find another job and move on.

Maybe if they were more aggressive in making sure their employees met their quotas and job performance standards they would still be a viable company instead of nothing but a footnote in aviation history.

Oh oh look who's back posting.Interesting hiatus.

:E.....^^^^^^A voice from the grave^^^^^^;)HEY O.P.! My hairdresser's cousin's best friend's next door neighbor's mailman is my Very Reliable Source, and he says you're all wet.Camping World employees only get fired if they don't meet their putting-up-with-stupid-questions quota. Suggest moving this one to the "Camping World" section of the forums so somebody there can get some points...

If you accept a job knowing the pay and terms, then there is nothing to complain about.

OP got it wrong in the original post :)

That is because the OP knows not of which he speaks, nor does he understand basic business practices.

And is speaking of something they "heard". And really has no place here. This is not a disgruntled employees forum.

Anyone can shop at Camping World but non-members don't get sale prices.

On the other hand anyone can shop at Sam's Club also. You have to pay a percentage above the marked price on everything. Ten percent add on maybe, I don't remember.

CW is not a member store right? I mean you can become a member but you do not have to be one to shop there. Like my big box stores they charge membership or you don't shop. So that is not true with CW right?

CW is not a membership type of store like Sams Club or Costco. Anyone can shop there, but if you are a Good Sam member, you get a discount.

All of my employees including myself are based on performance. That performance includes taking care of customers, managing inventory, servicing units, selling insurance, sell magazine adds, buying and selling RVs and RV accessories and the GS club. My job is provide a service for the customer, respect and compensate our employees and make a profit. There are aways occasions where people are counseled or terminated for failing to perform their job. I would never condone management by intimidation or fear but I always hold people accountable for results. One of the things that has plagued many companies and sometimes this country is our unwillingness to hold people accountable. That won't happen under my watch and our company and the products and services I'm obligated to perfect won't be compromised. The ultimate employer and the person who signs my check is the customer. It's a fine balance to run the business and take care of the customer. I make mistakes and will continue to get better, all of us do and will but we are all judged based on something.

Very good response and so true!

Keep up the good work which in my opinion you & your team are doing!

Holding folks accountable is long overdue! It's called leadership and it starts at the top. In my opinion, the RV Industry needs to self-regulate a lot more before the law makers get further pulled into its business. I appreciate leaders within their organizations "walking the talk!"
