Good company. Poor management
Good company. Poor management
Best Buy is in a great industry (consumer electronics) that is fun to work in. The fact that there is no commission actually takes a lot of the pressure off of selling people products they don't need.
The market fluctuates, and when things get tough, management gets nervous and starts to panic. The "pressure" rolls downhill from top management all the way to part-timers.
Try to identify the employees that make customers feel welcome and inform them properly on the products and services they need, instead of promoting the "sharks" that push everything on every customer.

I received an initial phone screening that had basic questions such as 'Why do you want to work for Best Buy?' The second round was about half an hour with senior engineers who asked me more behavioral questions and wanted me to go through my resume

Very good. Three interviews, all went smoothly. Two were online, and the last was in person in the office. They need understanding of the technology rather than specific elements. I was able to clear all without any issues.
