I applied online. I interviewed at Big Lots (Austin, TX) in Jan 2021
Interview
Quick and easy interview. Only negative was they will not disclose the hourly pay upfront. Struck me as odd, I don't know why they can't be a little more upfront, after all, they ask you for a lot of information, etc.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They asked more than one thing, so I don't understand this question.
It was nice the interviewer knew the company well and made me want the position. It seems like a great place to work. I would like to further interview with them again and try to get employment here
