Category Analyst Intern

May - August 2019 • Richfield, MN

What I liked

The rotational aspect of the program (demand planning, demand forecasting, and merchant analyst) was extremely beneficial and allowed me to learn about three career opportunities instead of one. I also was able to network with various individuals across the company throughout the summer, and learn more about their career progression.

What I wish was different

I wouldn't change anything about this experience!

Advice

I would advise individuals applying for or accepting this role to take advantage of your free time. Whether it be asking your manager if there is anything you can help with, or setting up meetings with someone in a career that interests you, try to gain as much knowledge and experience from this internship as possible.

Advanced Repair Agent

March 2018 - September 2019 • Pearland, TX

What I liked

Working with computers is my passion so that was great

What I wish was different

Clear structure and more backing from management. If a client blows up on an employee its usually not the employees fault but we have to act as if it is and if we don’t the managers will take the side of the customer everytime

Advice

Be prepared to deal with grief from management and from clients. The only people you can count on are your coworkers

Procurement Intern

June - August 2019 • Richfield, MN

What I liked

I loved the company culture Best Buy has. They created a wonderful environment full of great workers who always took the time to help me grow. They always treated me with as much respect as anyone else on the team, rather than just an intern. I never felt left out, and always felt like I was part of the team. Also, they do a fantastic job at bringing opportunities for development to their workforce, as there was always tons of different events/speakers throughout the day that you could benefit from.

What I wish was different

I wish they did a better job at putting us in touch with younger employees, close to us in age. This way we could hear advice from them and begin to see what it is really like to work there. I find people who are closer in age and who have just recently graduated college to begin their first job to be much more relatable than anyone else at the company.

Advice

Look into hiring younger workers at Corporate. Best Buy is a wonderful, family-like company that I would love to work at if I was a bit older and had a family to care for as well. However, I am young recent graduate who is looking for other employees in the same situation as people to hang out with and relate to. If Best Buy could begin to make their workforce younger, they could attract much more high-end talent fresh out of school, and they will probably fall in love with the company and stay for many years.
