Big Lots Interviews Employee Reviews
What did you like most about the interview process?
One on one and tour of facilities
The company was very formative.
I showed up and the manager was quitting. He told me that I should apply at Amazon, like he did. I stayed at Big Lots for three years instead
Was told upfront about the fast paced work enviroment
The interview process was very simple but at that point I was highly qualified so I was a shoe in. I had already had 10 plus years of retail experience under my belt. But overall it wasn't too hard process I just filled out an application and turned it in.

Getting the job. The old manager was great. But know with Stan the environment is very negative. Again Longwood Florida store 32750
The interviewer was super friendly and kind.
Overall honesry and great questions.
Quick and easy. Fast onboarding.
Review from Sales Dept
The SM wanted to get to know me, not ask typical silly questions and I wasnt judged by my responses
When I interviewed it was an extremely positive experience as I got to meet with different leaders in have dynamic conversations about strategy however that was many years ago.
Manager was very friendly and honest
It was kind of mom amd pop like business model with the jnterview process
I was able to meet with the district manager
I honestly can say I liked my boss. He is such a good man, and he has done alot for my store for what he can at least. Managers are iffy alot though. He made me so comfortable and let me know on the spot I was hired seasonal, then he decided to keep me for good. I can say my boss is a mentor
I was hired on the spot
Review from Sales Dept
Talking with the manager doing the interview.
Its been a while it chsnged
They'll hire anybody, really. Especially with the labor shortage too! High turnover, however.
I really disliked the 2 interviews
What would you improve about your company's interview process?
Listen to the person being interviewed
In this store store manager
Actually communication with the store manager instead of a random email saying your interview is scheduled. Not enough time to prepare for Interviews.
They should look more into who theyre promoting and hiring
If they at least pretended like they cared you were there
The manager need to ask better questions
Review from Sales Dept
They don't really ask questions.
