Best Buy Reviews

I worked at Best Buy part-time for more than 3 years

Pros – -High value of employees
-Structured training programs
-Reasonable work hours
-Provides a wide array of relevant transferable skills
-Generous employee discounts

Cons – Overall, about what you would expect from a retail electronics company. The patience of everyone around you, including management, is tested on a semi-regular basis with regards to customer traffic and conflict. Also, the holiday times are a bit intense as expected.

Advice to Senior Management – Listen to feedback from part-time employees; their opinions are important as well.

Pros – the reward program for working at best buy is pretty nice and very useful if you buy a lot of electronics or video games. Also the hours are never to bad and every other weekend for me.

Cons – Sometimes it gets really busy on the weekends and it seems as if there are not enough employees to handle the sheer amount of guest and they will not call people in for help.

Advice to Senior Management – make sure we are always properly staffed and continue to give us recognition or perks to do good.
