Bass Pro Shops today is holding its third hiring event in as many months.
The Springfield-based outdoor retailer is seeking 100 seasonal distribution hires during an event scheduled 9 a.m.-2 p.m. at the Missouri Job Center office, 2900 E. Sunshine St., according to a news release.
The full-time first- and second-shift positions in picking, receiving and stocking are expected to end on Dec. 30. Additionally, the company wants to add new retail and call center jobs, but a number was not provided in the release sent by the Missouri Job Center.
The job center and the Ozark Region Workforce Development Board also assisted Bass Pro
Oct. 4 to fill 80 open positions - a mix of full- and part-time and seasonal jobs - and a
Sept. 29 event for 66 jobs.
Missouri Job Center spokeswoman Megan Short could not be immediately reached for comment by deadline on how many jobs Bass Pro filled during the previous two events.
Bass Pro disaster donation
Bass Pro also recently announced it contributed $10,000 to the American Red Cross of Southern Missouri for Hurricane Matthew relief efforts.
In a Nov. 4 news release, Bass Pro officials said the money would help 25 Red Cross volunteers from southern Missouri deployed to Florida and the Carolinas serve meals and provide cleanup kits and bulk relief items.
“We are proud to support the American Red Cross of Southern Missouri and an amazing team of local volunteers from our neck of the woods to help people impacted by the storm recover during this time of extreme need,” said Sarah Hough, Bass Pro Shops manager of community affairs, in the release.
Hurricane Matthew reportedly caused damages in the billions of dollars, according to
USA Today.
Earlier this year, Bass Pro donated $15,000 worth of protein-rich foods to help those in need after the flooding in Louisiana, officials said.
