Outdoorsman’s Career: Bass Pro/Cabela’s Hiring 5K People

Unspoken perk: Riding the reindeer after hours and taking pictures…at least if you’re me.

Love the outdoors? Why not get paid for it?

One of the toughest things about being a full-time outdoorsman is that, although the coin in which you are rewarded is extremely valuable, it doesn’t pay the rent. So if you want to be a full-time outdoorsman–and you aren’t quite as off-the-grid as our friends at Current Homesteading–then maybe the next-best way is to find a career that lets you express yourself and enjoy the outdoors.

So you might be interested to know that the Cabela’s/Bass Pro Shops brand is looking to hire thousands of full-time and part-time Outfitters as outdoor recreation remains an extremely popular activity for millions of Americans.

During a National Hiring Event on Wednesday, September 22 and Thursday, September 23, Bass Pro Shops and Cabela’s retail locations across the U.S. will conduct on-site interviews for local retail, distribution and contact center positions from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Full-time and part-time positions are available in all of the company’s locations.

Friendly individuals who want to share their passion of the outdoors are strongly encouraged to apply in advance by visiting basspro.com/careers. Walk-ins are also welcome. All applicants must be at least 18 years old.

Team benefits for Outfitters include:

• Merchandise discounts up to 45 percent off
• Competitive wages, holiday and vacation pay
• Health, dental and life insurance programs for eligible team members

Earlier this year, Forbes ranked Bass Pro Shops and Cabela’s in the top 10 among “America’s Best Employers” as part of a nationwide survey of 500 large firms. Bass Pro Shops is an equal opportunity employer and a drug-free workplace.
