Any department leads / Seniors have any advice for me?
Hey there r/bestbuy. So I recently found out that they're going to start training me for the Senior position in CS and I was wondering if anyone had any tips for me? I'm a kid straight out of high school and I've been there for 7 months.

I've been at BBY for over 2 years, well before the restructuring, and have never heard of anyone referred to as a "senior". At CS, there's pt, ft, and a supervisor over CS & front lanes. At least this is the structure at the 3 stores I'm familiar with. Not sure what they mean by the position or training you for it - you'd have to apply and interview for any advancement.
Not sure if it matters, but I'm in Canada. There is Part-time, Full-time, Senior, Supervisor. Some stores usually have 2 Seniors but we only have the one position.
Yeah, must be a Canadian thing. We only have pt, ft, and supe up at cs
We have "Leads". Like a full time leadership position under the supervisor.
I haven't worked at BBY in 5 years or so, but I was a CS senior at one point. If you don't have seniors, who takes the drawers and counts the cash when the supervisor is off?

I worked there for 7 years from 2003-2010, and spent some time at the corporate office. Seniors were company wide, most departments had them.
So supervisors from departments other than ops pull drawers and count cash?
