May 2016 • East Brunswick, NJ

What I liked

The fact that I get to nerd out with as well as teach clients about technology. The discount for someone who loves technology is a doubled-edged sword in which its great for fufilling your desire to have more technology but not for your wallet.

What I wish was different

There definitely needs to be a bigger push in making it easier for college students to balance their time working there while in school. A flexible schedule provided by Best Buy while nice it is not perfect considering that closing times and part time hour requirments can come in conflict with class scheduling.

Customer service specialist

August 2017 • Lincoln, NE

What I liked

Learning how to do something new every day- facing new challenges kept me on my toes so I was never doing the exact same thing.

What I wish was different

I wish I could have had more experience on the salesfloor- unfortunately there weren't any positions open when I initially applied.

Advice

I would advise anyone in a field of customer service to not take customer frustrations to heart- we all get flustered as consumers, and that's easy to forget. Keeping your cool and being able to laugh things off is crucial.

Sales consultant

March 2017 - September 2018 • Geneva, IL

What I liked

Great way to learn about technology in the market, as well as basic customer service skills.

What I wish was different

The work atmosphere was supposed to be centered around helping the customer, but I regularly felt the management would forget this service oriented goal and rail on employees to increase sales numbers.

Advice

Remember why you do any job. You are providing a service or good to a customer to better their lives. While profits are important, if you remember why you are doing something and who you are helping then it will lead to those improved sales, but will not work vice versa.
