      Pros

      Great employer! The employee discount is great and you will fall in love with the Best Buy culture. 'Have fun while being the best.'

      Cons

      It is really hard to get promoted because their many people applying for management positions; you must be super competitive.

        Pros

        -Everyone is friendly and will help you with any questions you have. -Checkout is kept considerably tidy with how many people are back there everyday. -Employee discounts on open boxes and snacks that you may want for lunch are awesome! -If you’re a good employee managers WILL take note of it, I’ve been approached by 2 managers for a position after seasonal. You can move up really fast if you are a fast learner and are dedicated to being a good employee.

        Cons

        -Since I started the week before Thanksgiving I wasn’t taught all the ropes so I’m still catching up because of it. -As a seasonal you won’t be able to call out so I’ve been sick twice since I got here and had to push through my shifts.

      I have an ‘interview’ with the SVP of Talent after a networking coffee chat I had with the SVP of Data/Insights. So he name dropped me, but when I asked the SVP of Talent about evolving needs, I didn’t get context about what they’re looking for. No jobs posted. How should I prepare for an in person ‘interview’ next week with the SVP? What should I expect? I don’t have as much info as I’d like to position myself well. Thus far, this is a connection-of-a-connection-of-a-connection thing.
