Best Buy - Retail Stores

Inventory specialist.

May 2019 • Greenville, NC

What I liked

Let me start by saying I actually love my job, I get to go to work and learn everyday. I work in warehouse but I excel in the video game area. Do I know everything about my department? Absolutely not but I will do my best Each and everyday. I’ve made a lot of great friends and it really feels like a family. I love the customer conversations, granted I’ve had some bad and weird ones but 99% of you customers are really cool people.

What I wish was different

I wish I had start off in another department like home theater or something because warehouse is the most stressful position but I’m getting used to it

Advice

If you are a college student like me and don’t have anything to do in the summer please look for a job or internships. We are young and we are in college and our parents won’t always be there to by us food and clothes and the things we want, that’s a way of life. Best Buy is a very awesome job to start off with it’s hit great people and the over all job is amazing with great pay.
