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.

Sales Consultant

July - November 2018 • Framingham, MA

What I liked

The vibe was nice and the training-although there was a lot of it- was thourough and actually helped prepare me. Best Buy seems to actually care about not just their customers but employees too.

What I wish was different

Wish I could have started earlier considering I’m a seasonal employee (due to my school schedule).

Finance and Accounting Summer Associate

June 2021 • Richfield, MN

What I liked

The internship leaders really tried to get interns involved as much as possible in a virtual environment. You were pushed to set up many networking events as well as attend intern events as well. You get exposed to all the different areas of the department you work in, depending on your manager, but for the most part you truly get a wide grasp on the corporate experience.

What I wish was different

I wish I had the opportunity to work in person rather than virtually.

Advice

Make sure to keep an open mind. Corporate America is not what you would think it is. Also, take it all in as it goes. When you realize a company culturally fits you, its good to align those feelings for a full time job.
