      General Manager Interview

      13 Nov 2009
      Anonymous employee
      Madison Heights, MI
      Accepted offer
      Neutral experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Best Buy (Madison Heights, MI) in Feb 2007

      Interview

      The interview lasted only a few minutes at the district manager level. Based on my experience you are sized up based mostly on appearance, ethnicity and ability to answer some, not very probing, questions. Overall impression is a result based employment status with very little personal development. Sink or swim type of training program. I was very successful with the company but you will need to bring a lot of experience in motivating employees and managing operations to be successful as the company is very good at telling you what needs to be done but not good at all when telling you how to get it done.
