      Manager In Training Interview

      Jun 10, 2015
      Anonymous employee
      Accepted offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Big Lots

      Interview

      The job was a joke from beginning to end. The interview that took place with corporate was professional, but then they said they would have the DM contact me for my 2nd interview, a full month past with no contact and I received a "thanks but no thanks email". Another month past and the job was reposted, I contacted the recruiter and later received a call from a member of store management. I came in prepared for an interview and it turned out to be nothing but a conversation. The Store Manager had no idea how to interview or even socialize. We just talked and then I was hired.
