      UNSAFE FIREARM HANDLING PRACTICES, Position fraudulently posted; worked hard and kicked to the curb.

      Pros

      Good products, decent discount, -some- good coworkers who are passionate about the products and actually -like- interacting with customers. Interesting insights into firearms retail.

      Cons

      Deceitful hiring practices, UNSAFE HANDLING OF FIREARMS. There were no gun owners in local management, leading to bad customer service and unsafe firearm handling practices. These were represented by never teaching new personnel to verify clear and safe chambers, and zip tying lever action levers to the stocks, to prevent anyone from opening the action to verify a clear chamber.I was hired as a year round part time employee in September, and then reclassified as "temporary" in January and promptly let go; as were all the other new "permanent part time" hires. Pay was around $9/hr for background checked clerks with good product knowledge. Corporate mandates horrible customer service, and punishes the stores for not making the customers feel good about it. Horrible "protection plans". Also, management required me to regularly lie to customers about product availabilty; for example, we were told to hide high demand ammo in the back room until it was advertised, and lie in the meantime. This was a typical scenario. Also, waking up at 3 in the morning to staff the store, get in on time, and the Lead pulls a no-call/no-show and faces no disciplinary action? Yeah, that's not OK.
