huskertko Posted December 20, 2006 Posted December 20, 2006 I just got a call from BPS and got offered a P/T position in the fishing department, so the baitmonkey started hyperventilating and then just passed out. Quote
Super User MALTESE FALCON Posted December 20, 2006 Super User Posted December 20, 2006 SMELLING SALT STAT!!! CONGRATULATIONS. GLAD YOU GOT THE POSITION YOU WANTED. MERRY CHRISTMAS, FALCON Quote
Super User Raul Posted December 20, 2006 Super User Posted December 20, 2006 Did you call the paramedics ? Quote
huskertko Posted December 20, 2006 Author Posted December 20, 2006 Did you call the paramedics ? I am not so sure I WANT him to wake up. It would be nice to actually take home some money from the job and not spend more than I make. Quote
Super User SPEEDBEAD. Posted December 20, 2006 Super User Posted December 20, 2006 Congrats, if you have any deals to pass along, please PM me!!! Quote

But with miles they would have to pay me more then I bet they are willing. Quote

Better call the paramedics, because once he awakens on his own you 'll be in trouble and you don 't want a PO monkey on your back. Quote

Super User Grey Wolf Posted December 20, 2006 Super User Posted December 20, 2006 You're going to have to get another part time job to break even for your first part time job ! Quote
Super User KU_Bassmaster. Posted December 20, 2006 Super User Posted December 20, 2006 Very good!!!!!!! I considered going to that orientation thing, but decided it might do more harm than good. ;D I know with my experience working at the golf course I BARELY put some money in my pocket, and I didn't even really care much about golf until I worked there. I can only imagine what a job at BPS or Cabela's would do to me now, Congrats!!!! I bet you'll seee me up there a time or two ....................................................... a day. Quote
bassnleo Posted December 21, 2006 Posted December 21, 2006 I had a part time job at a Dicks Sporting Goods, they don't have near the selection as BPS, I think I actually was loosing money! I can't imagine trying to actually bring home a pay check from BPS. I'd see how much it was then run around and spend it, LOL! Good luck!!! Quote

My only hope for actually bringing home a check is the motivation to use the $$$ to pay off some debt so I can get a new truck and boat. Quote
senko_77 Posted December 21, 2006 Posted December 21, 2006 I am so sorry. I have spent every cent of my last 6 paychecks there. They give you a good discount so you will put all your money back into them. do you know the discount you get? pm me if you wanna know. Quote
Super User cart7t Posted December 21, 2006 Super User Posted December 21, 2006 Typical BPS paycheck for bass fishing part timers "lucky" enough to get a job there. Gross Pay - Taxes = Net pay - Employee purchases via discount = You're working next week for free to pay off what you spent this week. Quote
ring fry Posted December 21, 2006 Posted December 21, 2006 When is that Olathe store supposed to open? Quote
huskertko Posted December 21, 2006 Author Posted December 21, 2006 When is that Olathe store supposed to open? The Olathe store is supposed to be open in Feb. 2007. I don't know an exact date yet, but when I find out I will post it here. Quote
Al Wolbach Posted December 21, 2006 Posted December 21, 2006 I have worked there part-time for a little over a year. It has cost me a small fortune. Good luck...................Al Quote
NJfishinGuy Posted December 21, 2006 Posted December 21, 2006 Olathe .... is that kansas , my aunt lives there Quote
Super User Bankbeater Posted December 21, 2006 Super User Posted December 21, 2006 You could always ask them to pay you in merchandise . Quote
huskertko Posted December 21, 2006 Author Posted December 21, 2006 Olathe .... is that kansas , my aunt lives there Yep, one and the same. Quote
Siebert Outdoors Posted December 21, 2006 Posted December 21, 2006 I hope you realize once the BM awakens from his vision you will officially be screwed. You might as well hand him your wallet on the first day of work and say "Go to town little brown friend". I have worked at BPS for another company during shows and I got a discount. There wasnt anything I needed, but who can pass up a discount. NOT ME! Quote
Pond Hopper Posted December 21, 2006 Posted December 21, 2006 I had the same experience as KU. I worked on a golf course and fell in love with golf again, got real serious about it and made almost no money. If I was to work at a hunting and fishing store, forget about it Id be broke. Good luck and ask a manager if they will limit your spending to your paycheck. Quote
