Sports Authority announced that it will hire 3,500 temporary Team Members across the country to meet consumer demand during the 2015 holiday season. All Sports Authority locations will begin hiring in mid-October and continue through December. Sports Authority plans to convert hundreds of seasonal workers into permanent Team Members after the holidays. “We are so excited to provide jobs for applicants seeking temporary, as well as part-time employment during the holidays,” said Robert Gordon, Senior Vice President at Sports Authority. “At Sports Authority, we want to ensure every single customer has the best shopping experience around and this will be made possible with the extra hands joining us for the holidays. Our team is our greatest asset and I look forward to the future applicants joining us.” Seasonal employees are eligible to receive the same benefits as current Team Members, and this year will have access to Sport Authority’s generous employee discount program.
