      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Big Lots (Stone Mountain, GA) in Oct 2023

      Interview

      Applied online and was given a code to text to set up interview. Arrived at the interview and the manager had no idea who I was and was not even expecting me. For an organization that is understaffed this particular manager was acting as though I was a pesky fly bothering his lunch. Very unprofessional to say the least.
