Range USA is hiring

[Rick Mason]

This popped up in my email. I have no connection with Range USA other than as a customer. I am not going to be applying. But I thought some of you might be interested. Or perhaps not.

I would consider working at a range/gun shop when I retire. Could be fun for a few hours a week.

 

[Dean C.]

I doubt they can afford me

 

[armalitesheepdog]

Working at a LGS.. sure
Working for a corporate shop....Naaaa
I feel it would be like Working for Walmart only with guns and ammo.
The only perk I see is the discount. And at the end of the day I would probably owe "Them" money...lol
Mabey in retirement just for something to do

I was surprised that you could earn more per hour flipping burgers.

Maybe, but as a retirement gig, I'm going to try and not do anything that I wouldn't enjoy. And flipping burgers would be one of them. Also, no interest in being a Walmart greeter, lol.

I've done both, wasn't too bad. Both were local/private owned and not big corporate. Not sure how that would be.

I've always had good experiences with the staff at the Carmel location, but I haven't been in there in some time due to some of their stupid corporate policies.

Last time I was there they were still called Shoot Point Blank.

I worked at the Greenwood location 5 years ago. I lasted seven months and jumped ship. The careless customers armed and ignorant were more than I wanted to serve.

Yea that’s a whole lot of scary in one building.

Might be fun for the free range time and at-cost guns, but probably not besides that. When I retire, I certainly won't work for any other person again.

I was a manager at a locally owned range, I left a job at a fabrication shop to take the range job. I made decent money, way more than what Range USA pays. After a couple of years at the range, I wished I had my old fabrication job back, better money, I pretty much knew what each day would bring, and I didn’t have to worry about wether the next person through the door would either seriously injure/kill themselves or me/someone else.

I’m back in a fab shop now. Wayyyy better money, I only have to look out for myself, and we’re closed on weekends and holidays.

I'm trying to imagine BigRed as a Walmart greeter

More than a few. Plenty of great ones, but too many uh, not so great.

Sportsman's Warehouse on South 31 (they call it a Greenwood location but it's just north of county line road) is hiring if anyone is interested? Pay and discounts are better than RUSA.
Although no customers waving loaded guns around people are always the fly in the ointment.

When I lost my job to the shot mandate I looked into a job there. I am not a sales person by no means but figured it might be worth a try. When I read and was told : The main responsibility of the Sales Associate is to convert SPB customers to buyers with sales that fulfill the desired experience. I walked away as I hate pushy salespeople and I am not going to badger someone into buying anything.

Yeah, that sounds like a total nightmare, I would have walked too.

If someone gets hired there, please explain to me the outright ban on 5.45x39. I've been told three different excuses by two counter employees and a corporate spokesperson, none of which make any sense whatsoever.
