Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

  • Anglers have a specialist career option: Trout Shop opportunities include Montana fly-fishing operations and guest services.
  • Lewiston carryout associates qualify for health coverage and retirement options when working at least 30 hours weekly.
  • Staff get a shopping benefit: the careers page lists an employee discount, subject to eligibility and employment status.

What critics are saying

  • Lewiston carryout requires schedule flexibility: associates must work evenings and weekends, with some holiday shifts.
  • Mead carryout is physically demanding: the role requires constant standing and occasional lifts of 45-65 pounds.
  • Weather exposure is routine in Mead carryout: most of each shift involves working in all weather conditions.

What makes North40 Outfitters unique

  • Purchasing group membership supports pricing: Mid-States gives the retailer greater buying power with vendors.
