I applied in-person. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Big Lots (Austintown, OH) in Jun 2014
Interview
The interview process was very brief. I met directly with the store manager and we discussed the every day duties of the job I was applying for. He specifically told me that he did not put up for gossipy individuals. I walked out of the interview with 2 shirts and a tour of the backroom with my own locker.
The interview process was very laid back. I was asked about my experience but, mostly they seemed concerned more with my availability.
The manager seems like a very nice guy & the interview didn't very long.
