Headquartered in Springfield, Missouri, Bass Pro Shops is a chain of retail stores offering equipment for hunting, fishing, camping, boating, and other outdoor recreational activities. Established in 1971, the company's CEO and founder, conservationist John L. Morris, initially sold fishing tackle from his father's liquor store—the company's only location until the mid-1980s. The company expanded into new territory when Morris developed the Bass Tracker through White River Marine Group, "the first professionally rigged boat, motor, and trailer fish-ready package," which transformed the boating retail industry and in 2010 became the leading boat manufacturer in the world.

Today, Bass Pro Shops serves more than 120 million anglers, hunters, and outdoor sports enthusiasts per year and sells equipment in over 100 retail stores, online, and through its mail-order catalogs, generating annual revenues in excess of $4 billion. The company's flagship Outdoor World stores feature stuffed and mountain animals indigenous to each area, indoor water tanks with game fish, and outdoor tanks with live animals, such as the alligators featured in its store in Bessemer City, Louisiana. Furthermore, Bass Pro Shops has extended its reach into the hospitality industry through its Big Cedar Lodge, a nature-based resort that welcomes more than 1 million guests each year.

As an employer, Bass Pro Shops employs more than 20,000 people in locations throughout the United States and Canada. Applicants can apply for opportunities in a wide range of fields, such as administration, marketing, facilities management, finance, food service, human resources, manufacturing, retail, security management, and more. In the past, flexible employment offered by Bass Pro Shops has included full-time, part-time, telecommuting, and seasonal opportunities. The company also hosts national hiring events.
