Best Buy Knowledge Base
Best Buy??? Okay guys, so here's the situation I'm in. I'm a sophomore in college and a political science major, I recently got a job at City Hall that pays extremely well and gives me experience in my field of study. But the problem is I'm currently working for Best Buy, and even though they have their issues I still love it and the people I work with and don't wish to leave, part of the reason why I respect Best Buy is because they get involved in their community by volunteering to do things every so often. Not wishing to show off, but I am extremely good at getting MasterCard's and PRP's. So what I was thinking of doing is asking my general manager if they could stop putting me on the weekly schedule and only schedule me for the Sunday meetings in which I will be more than happy to run arons (basically being there *****) for example: bringing doughnuts, and training people to help get MasterCard's and PRPs etc. in exchange I would want to be in charge of the volunteer community events group at Best Buy. And keeping the discount if they wish, but not a big priority. PS. Also community events would help make my political resume look better. That's why I'm eager to stay. So I guess my question is, will he go for it? Or tell me to go screw off! LOL

Not worth the pay? How was the working environment at best buy?
