We are the front-line workers who make or break Big Lots profits. We sign up the customers for Rewards, we upsell, we are the face of the company and treated poorly with no gratitude.

What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?

Team Reviews

It's to late for anything like that.

Review from Sales Dept

Coworkers have little emotional intelligence, common sense; they are immature, selfish, don't look out for each other, lie, gossip and do as little as possible.

Review from Sales Dept

Leadership needs to show and enforce TEAM WORK, managers could try to engage with associates instead of having them wander the store during "recovery"

Review from Sales Dept

They need to stop being rude

Review from Sales Dept

Communication. If they talked to their employees as if they were humans, I imagine a lot more work could be done.

Rewarding loyal hardworking employees and whatnot.

Outlook Reviews

The managers need to be fired and replace with better ones

Review from Sales Dept

When people first start working there, they throw you on a computer and expect you to be trained that way. When you actually get put to work, and ask for help because you are confused, there is a sense of attitude from even managers. Like its not my fault the computer didnt teach me right

Review from Sales Dept

better employees more hours to do all this work

Review from Sales Dept

Give stores hours to be able to do proper customer service. Get rid of the worthless surveys get rid of the lying mystery shoppers. Its sad the we do the hard work while ceos sit on their butts and get the big bucks

Review from Sales Dept

The CEO is bleeding money into failing remodels and making up for lost profits by laying off 4000 members of management and cutting store hours to the bare minimum. Stores are failing and good employees are being driven out by unrealistic expectations and cuts.
