Inside bass pro shops Little Rock Arkansas 2013

This is a private blog journalizing my employment with bass pro shops. This is not an official bass pro shops blog.  Even though my blog is extremely positive and exciting, my views may not be the views of bass pro shops Corporation and affiliates.

Good morning, my name is Sean Symons and I am very proud to be the camping sections team leader. We will be opening mid November and I sure would love to see all my friends come by and see me.

We have a little over a month to stock our section, build our displays and make sure this will be the most incredible experience you have ever had in your life.

My manager is extremely knowledgeable and incredibly motivating. My team are professional and extremely knowledgeable of all the products and services we offer. 

When you come in the store for the first time, I am sure you will be overwhelmed as I was. The attention to detail by all people involved are absolutely stunning.

As you walk in, to the right you will see a spectacular fireplace and a very proud of buck on top.

The entry way "Sportsman's Paradise" is the understatement of the century.  

When you look up, you will see a spectacular chandelier. 

As you walk in, it is almost overwhelming…

We receives are welcome packet and name badges today.  The general manager Will Anderson and his managers introduce themselves to the group. The way they presented themselves was extremely professional yet they all seem to absolutely love their job.

I feel extremely blessed to be able to be working for such an amazing company starting out on the ground level in Arkansas.

The highlights from orientation day one, 

Out of 5000 applicants through the job fair, we are considered the best of the best.

Bass pro shops have extremely high standards for customer service. 

So what are my expectations of bass pro shops? I expect that all the managers and associates will have a very strong work ethic as I do, enjoy their job as if it is a hobby they get paid for, and take care of the customer as if it was their own family member.

The amazing thing is, it sounds like this is the company's philosophy anyway :-)

So what's to come…?

Three days of classroom training followed by actual store training and set up before grand opening in the middle of November 2013.
