When it comes to seasonal employment, Glassdoor ranked Best Buy as the No. 1 company to work for during the holidays.
Glassdoor analyzed millions of reviews by seasonal employees in retail, customer service, sales, labor and transportation. Best Buy got the highest marks for culture and values, senior leadership and career opportunities.
And get this: Nearly half of Best Buy store general managers started as part-time or seasonal workers.
If you’re interested in seasonal employment at Best Buy, we’re holding our national Holiday Hiring Fair event today and Friday.
Nearly 1,500 people are converging on the Twin Cities this week for the second-annual Blacks in Technology conference, BITCON, and two Best Buy employees are featured guests.
“BITCON is a great place to generate new concepts and collaborate with members from across the state,” said Nadvia Davis, specialist on Best Buy’s social impact team and first-time BITCON panelist. “It’s important to show the representation of black women in the technology field. For me, it’s impactful work, and I get to give back to our communities.”
The nursery that Keegan Shoutz and his husband, Paul Schroepfer, decorated sat empty for a year.
They had a crib, a changing table and a rocking chair — but no baby. Still, they were hopeful that the adoption journey they began in 2016 would lead them to the family they desperately wanted.
“I had a ton of great memories from my childhood, like camping and horseback riding. I just really wanted to create a new set of memories like this with my own family,” Paul said.
At first, Daniel Guilmain Jr. began growing his hair out just because he wanted to.
Then he learned about a charity that raised money and support for kids with cancer. Participants shave their heads, as a sign of solidarity with the children, and ask people to contribute money for doing so.
Daniel had relatives who lost their lives to cancer, so the cause resonated with him.
Over the course of 10 months, he grew his hair out more than 5 inches.
