Well I am part of the mess going on today about 5 weeks ago I was laid off.
It has been awhile since I have been on here, hope all is well
Since early 2005 I was working for Bass Pro Shops which I worked on 30 stores was promoted twice and finally ended up as Imagery Specialist which I was acutally doing two jobs.
Buying Taxidermy and Artifacts for each new store. Research Fur, Fin, Feather and Historyof that state and region for each new store to determine the theming.
Collecting historical photos of hunting and fishing to celeberate the local heritage for each new store.
Working with Game and Fish Departments throughout the country to help theme and get the correct conservation message out to the public.
Work with Conservation Groups throughout in each region of that state to help get the correct conservation message and correct themeing of each new store.
Beleive it or not Working the the Game and Fish Departments and Conservation groups never existed before to help with the themeing and collecting historical photos till I started doing it.
Even helped out other departments, like finding artistist in Texas for prints for Mercandising, helped with come up with a hunting calendar which they never had before and still not smart enough to put it in the hunting department to sell.
But thats life, have to figure out what to do with myself.
And theirs nothing to hunt expect coyotes, guess I get my manangement hat on for my hunting land.
Today I here Sportsman's Warehouse is closing stores.
