Best Buy.Com Work Values

Daily Duties at Best Buy.Com:

Started as part time employee in a Best Buy store as cashier. With my store experience, I was hired to work M,W,F at the Best Buy corporate office for BestBuy.com in the Production Control Center (PCC). The PCC was the first line of defense for the website. I monitored the website availability daily, page response times, number of visitors, number of incident tickets open related to website and compiled the information into a Daily Activity Report which was often up to 11 or more pages with multiple graphs and charts. This report was sent out daily to a distribution list of over 100 members that included technical support members like DBA's, engineers and website designers as well as non-technical members in the business side along with leaders of BestBuy.com. After 3 months, I was converted to a full time employee which included on-call support for incidents after hours. When incidents or other issues were reported, my responsibility was to triage and communicate to the proper teams to facilitate resolution of the issue. I managed and coordinated command centers to resolve issues such as incorrect pricing, server down or network problems.

What they like about Best Buy.Com:

A hiring company that offers alternative approaches to pay, performance bonuses, and/or equity in the firm is very attractive to you. You're generally less interested in working for an organization offering only traditional, salary-based compensation, one with limited opportunity to acquire equity in the firm, or one that does not actively promote skill development. In addition, you are more likely to choose a company that offers a variety of internal career options, with defined career paths. You view the learning of new skills and development of your expertise as key to your career advancement. These aspects of an organization may become even more important to you as you progress in your field, and are especially critical if you change career or occupation.
