Best Buy Seattle Reviews

Cons

Motivational style of some managers can be harsh.

Cons

Nobody leaves a bad company, they leave a bad boss. Once you have a GM who doesn't like you, it becomes very hard to promote or transfer stores because they will sandbag you when someone calls for their input. We focus so much on promoting from within that we will ask other's input and way they more than the merits of the candidate.

Cons

Customers with a limited understanding of technology can make life difficult, but have patience.

Cons

Didn't really like working cashier. The hours weren't the best. They made me work when I had pink eye. It was black Friday.. they let me off at some point, was still dreadful. Working customer service sucked if someone called out.

Cons

Though we are not a compensation company we are still held to high sales standards. At my store management very much is the type where you are never good enough. Unless, of course, your making mazaradi sales and pitching for spending the most. There is pleanty of double standards and favoritism. If your a busy body or not a sales person I highly recommend to avoid this company or stay with operations. The hours are also horrible.

Cons

A ton of pressure to sell Best Buy-branded credit cards, Games Club Unlocked memberships, and warranty plans - and usually all at once in the same transaction. Management will walk around and breathe down your neck about them and give you quizes about perks of each program on the spot. It is very offputting.

Cons

Low pay and managers take to long to deal with bad employees.

Cons

Politics ruin everything. Mandatory overnight shifts every so often for product inventory, traces of favoritism are clear.

Cons

Hard to pin point specific cons, I love my store through and through.

Cons

Unless you are full time "which basically no one is" you only get between 5-20 hours a week... that's not enough to live on even with duel income.. You get barely above minimum wage if you are lucky.. I had over 10 years in retail and the kid hired a month after me was making $2 more an hour than me.... for his first job... Management does nothing when you call for them on the radio and will not have your back if a customer is being belligerent.

They also work out deals with friends and family, giving them huge discounts on items and not getting in trouble for it.. actually I take that back, the store manager got fired when he got caught at my store...
