Advice to Management

Keep up the good work

Pros

Good employee discount. The ability to keep abreast with the latest technology.

Advice to Management

Treat employees the way you would want your bosses to treat you.

Pros

Pretty good place to work if your just entering the workforce, Truly opens you to the world of IT and sales. You'll have a lot of fun working and competing with your team members, learning about new products and interacting with (some) customers. Fast-paced environment makes shifts go by faster and you'll typically be doing a lot of walking which certainly beats standing in the same spot for prolonged periods, an unfortunate requirement of several other retailers. Considerable discount on accessories, smart home devices, appliances, and protection plans. May be able to strike a deal with management on open-box laptops depending who you talk to/how well the store is doing financially.

Advice to Management

Connect with your team and actual ask them about themselves from time to time, not every conversation must be sales driven. Teach sales associates the techniques they need to meet goals as opposed to just increasing them. Occasionally going on the floor to help sell/experience what your subordinates are dealing with helps raises moral and keep people on track. Frequent competitions for ALL departments (including AP and warehouse) will help keep people motivated. Using lottery tickets, food, and other cheap, last-second ideas as rewards will serve to motivate no one and will only waste time. Gift cards in my experience are the only effective way to promote good performance. We know your bonuses are large enough to include these things and if they cause the store to meet its goals it is certainly in your best interest to do so.

Pros

-Decent/Competitive Pay
-Employee Discount
-Healthcare/Benefits
-Paid Time off

Pros

At the Best Buy I worked at the starting salary was pretty decent since it was one of the busiest stores in the market. The job is also not commission based for obvious reasons.

Advice to Management

Lose the cringeworthy sales tactics.

Pros

The best reason to work at Best Buy is helping customers enhance their lives through the latest technology.

Advice to Management

Take care of your employees and they will take care of your company. Treat them like I do not matter and what they think doesn't affect your business and you will be proven wrong. I have seen first-hand how a general manager can turn the atmosphere of an entire District around. To drive Improvement and to decrease turnover rate. I'm talking over 30 internal promotions in less than 2 years, and one of the best work families I've ever been a part of.

Pros

Discount! You cant beat any retails
(If you are full time they pay for college )

Advice to Management

Management need to focus on individuals who are willing to work and need to promote who is doing great what they should do

Training and Development, Pay Structure, and Benefits

Pros

Competitive Pay
Strong Company Values
Decent Retail Job
Bonuses

Advice to Management

There is extreme bias and favoritism when it comes to career advancement. It should be based on performance and execution of responsibilities. Management also lacks knowledge in several areas in the store. They micro-manage 99% more than they actually manage anything else.
