Best Buy Reviews

I have been working at Best Buy part-time for less than a year

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.

Pros – Great environment to work in. Lots of room for advancement, if you're willing to work. Most of the leadership team are down to Earth. Great discount on certain items.

Cons – Hardly enough money to live. Frequent hour cuts. Very passive approach to asset protection. Frequent miss-communication between leadership team and upper management.

Advice to Senior Management – Cut down executive payroll, and share a little more with line level employees. The people in the blue shirts are bringing in the money, they should make enough to live a comfortable life. Get a realistic mindset on asset protection, you can't just put someone on the front door and hope no one steals anything. Before making huge decisions that could be of detriment to the company, consult line level employees for their opinion; Often times when Corporate rolls out a new operating model the blue shirts are able to pick out the weak points from the beginning.

New direction is already positively impacting the stock price and the way analysts and press are viewing Best Buy's performance and outlook.

Cons – A clear long term strategy still needs to be fully articulated.
