I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Big Lots (New York, NY) in Dec 2015
Interview
Met with the district manager first. Asked some questions. Was looking for someone who didn't know much about the company. Then met with the store manager and that went pretty well. Got an offer 2 weeks later.
I applied through other source. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Big Lots (Elkin, NC) in Nov 2015
Interview
The DTL, STL, and myself sat in a room for close to an hour, he literally asked me 3 questions that would relate to the actual role of the job that I was applying for. Spent the rest of the time talking about Big Lots new systems they were putting in place. Then proceeded to tell me that he didn't have any input on the decision because that was the STLs decision to make and he was only there because they require him to be there.
