It was very cool having conversations about fishing and my knowledge of the sport to make sure I would be appropriate for the position, I was asked when I could start after the interview was over because they were very impressed.
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Bass Pro Shops (Birmingham, AL) in Jan 2022
Interview
Applied online and got denied once. Applied again and they emailed me saying thanks but the position is no longer vacant. Applied 3 months later and got a phone call from HR to interview.

I applied online. I interviewed at Bass Pro Shops (Boston, MA) in Jul 2020
Interview
General and brief. They were interested in my fishing knowledge and asked me a few basic questions customers might ask. I had to be willing to lift over a certain amount of weight, connect with customers who needed help finding items in the store, and managing inventory on the shelves throughout the day. This job requires a drug test no matter what state you are in.
