Bon-Ton plans massive holiday hiring spree

Bon-Ton is planning to hire thousands of seasonal workers this holiday season for its 270 Bon-Ton, Bergner's, Boston Store, Carson's, Elder-Beerman, Herberger's and Younkers department stores.

The company says it will hire 13,000 seasonal workers, about as many as last year, and will also hire 500 seasonal employees at its e-commerce fulfillment center and at its distribution centers.

"This is a great opportunity for individuals to join Bon-Ton and earn some extra money for the holidays," said Denise Domian, senior vice president of Human Resources at The Bon-Ton Stores, Inc. "We are looking for energetic people to be a part of our team during the busy holiday season."

Qualified employees will have the chance to move into permanent full-time or part-time positions at the end of the season, the company said.

Bon-Ton announced it will also have opportunities in stores for holiday associates to work its 10 biggest sale days and earn an associate discount on top of sales and most coupons throughout the holiday season.

Applications are being accepted now, and all jobs will be filled by mid-November. Interested applicants can apply online at www.careers.bonton.com or stop in any Bon-Ton store.
