      Employee Interview

      Nov 4, 2014
      Anonymous employee
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through other source. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Big Lots in Jan 2010

      Interview

      This was a very straightforward and laid back interview. I was asked what type prior of job experience I had. How I would respond to unruly customers and if I could lift 50 lbs repeatedly. That last one is if you are applying for a stocking position because they will have you help unload the trucks.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      The unruly customer question caught me off guard but the hiring manager seemed to like my answer.
