Title: Work for Penn in Philly
Post by: sdlehr on August 26, 2016, 05:12:59 PM
Just ran across an ad on purefishing.com (home company of Penn). They are advertising for an assembler in their Philadelphia location, which a few of us toured a few months ago. Who knows, maybe someone's dream job? http://jarden.jobs/philadelphia-pa/penn-assembler/EE46C8A83012413BB0487778FE77EE4D/job/

Good luck!

I wouldn't mind working for them,  if I could do it from home.
Sid, did I tell you I'm only 15 minute from there? I believe Dan is only 5 minutes.
Dan, we have to pay D'alessandro another visit soon.

Guys, Pam has her 40th HS reunion coming up the weekend before Thanksgiving, and she wants to visit D'Allesandros while we're up (I do to), so maybe we could all get together again for dinner and someone won't forget the Grappa! :o ;D :D

I'm down for a Cheesesteak any day! It would be great to see you guys again.

Man, a 5 minute commute down the street would be amazing compared to my current 1 hour drive each way...

Hmm....a job as a Penn reel assembler....kinda reminds me of that Johnny Cash song. I can't remember the name of it right now, but he gets a job at the Cadillac plant and smuggles home a car piece by piece....

They would need to strip search daily any folks they hire form the AT gang.

Small chance a position in the Repair Dept. will open up soon.  Probably a dream job for some of you guys.  Come in and repair reels for 8 straight hours (and get paid for it).  Plus it would save me from training the next guy up  ;D Stay tuned.

jobs gone
I believe it's still available. Spoke to Tony on Thursday about another matter and asked if the position has been filled, Tony said it was still available. Too bad working from home is not an option :(

Looks like in a couple of months we will have a job opening up in the repair dept.  Job would consist of repairing reels on a daily basis along with helping out with outside events +++.  Mon-Fri 7:00am-3:30pm at the Hunting Park location.  I will re-post once the job officially becomes available and if anyone has any questions shoot me a PM.

tony, i just shipped out a dozen penn wrenches.  you likely have something in the shop that is a little more "automatic," but the guys in the shop might enjoy these.  if nothing else, they can take them home to work on their personal gear.  thanks for hanging out with us!  ;D
