Pre-screen interview over the phone, in-person interview, and a final teams meeting call with HR. I had a good experience during each phase and enjoyed our candid conversations. Questions were about company culture, experience and situational.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about a time when you had to have a difficult conversation with a co-worker.
I applied in-person. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Bass Pro Shops in Jun 2011
Interview
One bright spot is the HR department. They seem very professional compared to most companies. They return calls, have good communication and let you know where you stand from day one.
When you turn in an application you will be interviewed immediately after. Even if there isn't a current opening. If there isn't and you are not screened out you will be contacted for a second interview and offered a position based on current openings, your qualifications and the area of the company you expressed an interest in.
JOA or "Job Opportunity Announcements" and be filled out for open positions within the company, such as a supervisory position. HR will conduct an initial interview as before. Then if you pass the screening process you will be interviewed by the appropriate manager/supervisor (your new boss) and then if they like you by their boss. Who has the final say in who gets picked.
The JOA process is somewhat broken, as people are sometimes assigned a position and final choices of supervisors can be overruled.
Interview questions [4]
Question 1
Random personal questions, seemly unrelated to the job applied for. "Gab test."
When doing a JOA there is always some question about the department you're working in. Like "What's selling good right now?" or, "How many containers have you guys had this year?"
I applied online. I interviewed at Bass Pro Shops (Branson, MO) in Mar 2026
Interview
Quick 30-45 minute call talking about work experience and how past experiences with customer service, coaching, leadership. What are your greatest strengths and weaknesses? What are you looking for in your next role that you were missing in your previous role?
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Bass Pro Shops (Oklahoma City, OK) in Nov 2025
Interview
Phone screen followed by video call. Both the screener and the hiring manager seemed great. Hiring manager outlined next steps based on whether a candidate moves forward or not in the hiring process.
