05 Mar: Why Best Buy’s employee training program is world class

Customers don’t just come to Best Buy for the latest tech. They come for our knowledgeable employees who can provide expert service to help them find the right products and solutions that meet their needs.

It doesn’t happen by chance. Last year, our employees participated in millions of hours of training in classrooms and online. Sessions range from new-hire orientations to product knowledge to leadership development.

We’ve built a reputation as an industry leader for our efforts. We just ranked No.

28 Feb: Best Buy rolls out paid time off for part-time employees

Zach Ward is a planner. The full-time college student and part-time Geek Squad Agent has to be to avoid any scheduling conflicts.

“I love my job and want to be here for my team, so I work really hard to balance that with my classes,” said Zach, who lives in Milwaukee. Still, sometimes he worries when homework and finals start to pile up. Thanks to Best Buy’s new paid time off (PTO) benefit for part-time employees, Zach can breathe easier.

Starting this month, part-time employees who have worked for the company for at least a year can receive up to 16 hours of paid time off a year.
