      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Declined offer
      Positive experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Big Lots

      Interview

      It was easy! Very laid back. Two round interview. Bring strong customer service energy. They really like that. Initial screening: This can be a phone or in-person interview focused on basic details like your work history and availability. In-depth interview: A second interview, often with a manager, may be more detailed. You could be asked about your skills, how you handle a tough customer, and why you want to work for Big Lots. Post-interview steps: Depending on the role, you may need to complete a background check.

      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied in-person. I interviewed at Big Lots (Gloucester Point, VA)

      Interview

      Easy, just had a conversation rather then a formal interview. I was hired on the spot and stayed over a year. But they did have people coming in and out of the room quite often.
