Best Buy

worked there for 18 1/2 years, doing many things in the repair field. On the road and from home. Was also a trainer for other techs just starting out in the field or new line of work for them.

I enjoyed my time at Best Buy and was able to learn quite a bit of information about the procedures, etc of Retail Market.

Managements are professional and caring also help you move up the ladder within the company and being a great mentors.

I started as a counter tech, moved to being a field DA, then took a supervisory role for 3 years. The experience was good, in the way that it gave me world view experience.

Working at Best Buy was one of the highlights of my professional life. I worked for the company on three separate occasions between 2003-2019, of which I spent a total of 15 years with the company. I learned a lot while working there. It taught me how to be a team player, how to manage a business and how I contribute, how to coach and develop new team members and up and coming employees, time management, and many other skills. The biggest take away I have from working at Best Buy was the fact that being there, you feel like part of a family. I learned a lot during my time, and also made several friends that became family to me. The culture you cultivate is up to you, and the culture in Best Buy is second to none.

The store drove out all of the best managers and coworkers, and now you're left with a team that doesn't really care about your well-being. if your numbers aren't stellar, you aren't really acknowledged at all by any of the managers. They don't help you or encourage you at all. If you don't have a 100% asking rate, you're threatened to be written up, to the point where they hover and make you uncomfortable. Full time associates steal sales for their own convenience as well.

I was over the home entertainment department. I enjoyed working with the customers and helping them find what they needed. Also I am a quick learner

Was laid off during Covid. Over the last few years Best Buy has gotten too “woke” and they just push and push you to sell anything and everything to the customer rather than sell them what they need show them what they could have and be honest to the customer to earn repeat customers

Working for Best Buy is truly all about selling credit cards & memberships to your customers. The expectations of the employees are high and unreasonable. It is difficult to be promoted even if you're an expert in your field. The managers promote people based on their interviews, answers, and persona instead of their knowledge and expertise.

I was lucky enough to travel out of town and map other store for inventory counts. I loved it. I started out at merchandising, went to media supervisor, then to SWAT which was inventory contol by counting product daily

Cool store to shop at but stressful and non beneficial to work for. I would recommend working here to someone not looking for a career maybe still in college. You cannot support a family on what they pay you.

It was mostly a good time working at Best Buy. The managers showed care for their employees sometimes over the bottom line. The work was always interesting. New issues were brought in every day and it kept the job from becoming too repetitive. The company culture was very strong with opening and closing round table type meetings. Sometimes it could feel a bit like the cult of Best Buy.

I started off in the Computer department and transferred to Media, then Merchandising, before being placed in Product Fulfillment. A stressful place to work during the holidays with rude customers, but you do your job and the day goes by fast. At the location I worked at, it was tough to move up in the company since there is only one location. If you are in an area with multiple stores, I hear it's easier to advance. At the location I worked, we had a problem with micromanaging and a lack of communication between leaders. I would be told to work on one task, have another leader approach me with something else to do, then get yelled at by the previous manager for not working on what they wanted me to do. It's a bit of a balancing act, but it is doable. Of course, that's just my experience at my location. It may be different at other stores.

As a sales person i enjoyed the cultuer and environment with bedt buy it was pleasing to help the customer find the right electronics for their home and business.

First job it was great started off at 10$ an hour I had no complaints I was glad I worked there I learned a lot

Have nothing to say except I enjoyed my job and I would go back at any time. Come on I'm not going to do a summary on all my jobs

Best Buy was best to me when I was a H.s junior working but realized as more time went on that it is not a career. You have to fight constantly for a raise which eventually turns into nickels and pennies and you are supposed to be happy and content with that. I did love being around latest and greatest technology but if you are looking for a good paying career opportunity, stay away.

Started part time. Became full time within 6 months. A fun environment, always meeting new people, and interacting with the same. Great management team and sales associates which made a joy to come to work every day. Always learning and experiencing hands-on with all of the new products that came out

Poor leadership Leadership failures fall on the tech. Lack of job support Not enough techs Vehicles can’t handle any weather Your day ended when it ends. Usually more than 8 hours

Best buy is a great place for someone young to start and there are so many opportunities to grow! You learn so much here, it is definitely worth applying for!

I was a seasonal employee. During my time working with Best Buy I encountered friendly and helpful coworkers who would stop and help you whenever they could.

Was a single dad working at Best Buy trying to provide for my family Got hired a Best Buy at a job fair

Worked here for nearly 6 years and watched as the changes in corporate structure slowly trickled down to the store level. This company used to say its way of competing against Amazon was by having world-class customer and employee experience. Now Best Buy cares about neither, and hopes to convince you otherwise with good PR

I worked there during the holiday season. It was a pretty good job. But they don't invest in their temporary employees like they do a permanent employee.

As retail goes, this is one of the better places. The only downside was there seemed to be an emphasis on hiring part-time workers. Less benefits and pay and little chance for advancement. Geek Squad seemed like the best job there.

It was a very great Experience. Started off as seasonal was hired on full-time and moved up to Magnolia pro sales rep which deals with all high-end TVs and audio on theater equipment. Dealing with customer installs and build time frames to complete project while working with customers to keep them satisfied and happy.

Was welcome each time work with all drs appointments family issues etc they was all together welcoming

Worked at BB for almost 4 years, started part-time in computer sales, moved to full-time Loss Prevention, and was recruited by the GM to move to Geek Squad.

Awesome management and people, fun place to work! Best buy and Geek squad tak[es care of thier employees.

Best Buy is one of the most supportive employers in the working world today! The culture is unlike anything I have ever experienced in my career. If you want to learn, stretch, and grow with a company that treats every employee as a human instead of a number then this is the place to be. I loved my time at Best Buy!

Management was always complaining about the staff but not providing coaching, would always change job description and roles.

It was a great at experience in the very beginning but has suffered the damage of the internet buying craze. It hangs on by its services and it isn't flexible on hours for part timers. You must do three shifts every weekend to maintain part time status.

Everything at Best Buy revolves around online shopping & shipping while people coming into the store are left unattended. Our store doesn’t have enough sales help to get to all the customers!
