Your work style won't be compatible with every environment, and the environment you dislike says a lot about your work style. For example, if you prefer a quiet, isolated environment, you likely need to focus with minimal distractions to work efficiently. If you want to be a part of a team that provides a strong support system, you likely need encouragement and advice from your colleagues. There is nothing wrong with preferring one type of environment over another; in fact, the interviewer wants to see that you are self-aware and recognize the kind of environment where you do your best work. Be flexible in your response, but be honest. This is as much for your benefit as it is for them. If you will not fit into Burlington Coat Factory's environment.

"I can be productive in a wide range of environments. I'm very self-motivated and don't become flustered easily. The only environment I've ever found difficult was at a retailer where the managers and many of the sales associates were unhappy; their toxic complaining about the company and each other was too much for me. It was very distracting. I learned how to compartmentalize internal drama from my daily tasks and customer interactions, so now I feel that I would be more capable of handling a similar environment without any trouble; it just wouldn't be my first choice to work in an environment like that again."

"I have trouble working in an environment where everyone is expected to do their own tasks with little to no interaction with others. I do best in a supportive environment with room to grow, the ability to ask questions, and healthy co-worker relationships."
