Best Buy Reviews

Pros

Best Buy compensates employees fairly, gives great benefits, and great employee discount. You choose what you want to do with the company, not them.

Cons

The only real downside to working at Best Buy is retail in general. You pretty much work on every holiday except Thanks Giving and Christmas.

Advice to Senior Management

None

Pros

Keeping up with technology, employee discount, and flexible hours.

Cons

The pay is okay. There is only yearly raises, so try to get as much money hourly as possible when you start.

Advice to Senior Management

I feel like the transition into another department within the store should be more efficent.

Pros

Great discounts on most things in the store/ Its better then other employee discounts. Also great co-workers that help you get through the day.

Cons

Some of the cons of working at Best Buy are the mangers that work there, most of them only have a basic understanding of how everything gets done. If you do something that makes the store money all you get is a pat on the back. If you tell a customer something the mangers will almost never have your back and make you look like the evil cold hearted employee.

Advice to Senior Management

Some advice is to keep all of your employees happy not just the mangers because if you don't have the little guys you company would fall apart.

Hands on training with supervisor and non-commission sales environment made it more civil than commissioned.
