I don't see a great outcome for this company in the long run. I forsee them closing in 10 or less years. - Mobile Sales Consultant Best Buy Employee Review

Pros

5% Above Cost discount on various products through-out store. Accessories are probably one of these things that I benefitted from most. Insignia gets you a greater discount than most.

Cons

Management Consistency, Favoritism, I felt that once I arrived at Best Buy from when I first started I saw a huge turnover in the employees I started with. It was almost like if anybody thought outside of the box. People were set up to be terminated without explaining the policies to these employees. I personally was wrote up for something that I didn't initiate in a phone activation. Once I observed and remembered what was done I documented all my information. The Store Manager himself owed me an apology as I was set up due to a manager not liking me because I didn't sell services I didn't believe in myself. Later found this out and opted out of their department and bided my time until I could find something that I could receive benefits and a full time status.

Pros

Flexible hours, employee perks such as discounted products, offers 401(k) despite being part-time, coworkers who are nice to work with.

Cons

Management is quick to call-out sales that have nothing attached to it (warranties, card applications, memberships, or accessories). There is a rodent problem that has not been addressed for nearly a year; food and beverages cannot be sold at this store.
