Hubert Joly
Former Employee – worked at Best Buy
Pros – Fun place to work (at times), good employee discount, fun co-workers but NOT fun managers, great products, monopoly over the competition
Cons – Long hours, tedious work, not enough training, too much emphasis on multiple items for sales such as selling "insurance" on products
Advice to Senior Management – Be friendlier and more open to staff. It's hard to work for managers that don't seem to care and are only their own good.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

Current Employee – been working at Best Buy
Pros – great people and a nice discount. Get to network and meet new people everyday. game nights at the store where we play video games all night long.
Cons – management does not know how to manage. Not a great opportunity to move up in the company most definitely not enough money to support a family. Oh and it's retail.
Advice to Senior Management – Give more opportunities to move up with in the company for people who might want to make best buy their carrer.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend

Current Employee – been working at Best Buy
Pros – There are a good amount of benefits
Cons – Management! The worst place I've ever work for in my life. The level of disconnection between managers and their employees is appalling. Best Buy might be bearable if managers treated their employees with a modicum of respect, unfortunately corporate training for managers must include belittling, yelling, and disrespecting employees in front of each other, because that's all I've ever experienced. I will be elated when I leave this job!
Advice to Senior Management – Hire people with morals.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend
