Best Buy Reviews in Denver, CO Area

Pros

Competitive pay, great discounts / benefits. Good room for advancement. Most manager started as part time CD and DVD stockers or cashiers. Room for growth within and outside of your department. They also do surveys of the employees about things such as satisfaction with benefits, and what they can do to change them for the better.

Cons

They do not hire full-time employees, you have to start as part-time. A little lacking on training in a few key departments. Managers following up with supervisors leaves a little to be desired. It seems like there is very little communication between supervisors and the management staff unless something is going very wrong.

Advice to Senior Management

At least make it seem like you are listening when an employee is talking to you. Sometimes it seems like they do not care as long as the budget is being met, and other times it seems like they only time they see an employee is when they are doing or have done something wrong.

Pros

The discount is nice. Great place to see and learn about new electronics and gadgets. Co-workers generally have a good time together in after work hours. The Geek Squad is a good stepping stone for people headed to IT career fields.

Cons

Scheduling was never done as promised and interferes with personal life and free time. Early morning meetings are rarely effective as most employees are either still sleeping, drunk, or pissed off. Enforcement of company policy is spotty at best amongst different stores and supervisors. They are terrible at retaining and hiring competent Geek Squad employee's and most Agents feel over worked. And don't have enough time to get the work done.

Advice to Senior Management

Keep doing what your doing but spend time in the stores on the front line. Possibly take a week and actually do what the employee's are doing. Figure out exactly what happens and get a good grip on what actually happens in the departments.
