Bad Retail Experience - Recensione dipendente - Sales Associate presso Best Buy

Working at Bellevue Best Buy was one of the worst experiences I’ve had. Having worked in retail before, I knew not to have high expectations but this was the worst. The hours were terrible since they hired too many people during the holidays. You would be scheduled only once or twice a week and have to work a 9hr shift to have it even be worth it for just above minimum wage. Anyone whose worked retail knows customers can be rude, this store had no shortage of them. People would demand answers from you and would yell at you because their washing machine hadn’t arrived yet or if you couldn’t price match something to Amazon for $5-10 less (most of the time these were not even the same product). The worst thing about this store was the other employees. Truly these people do not care about you as a person and will take advantage of you. I worked multiple 8+ hour shifts with no lunch and maybe one break that I had to argue with other employees for. Not to mention, most employees didn’t make conversation outside of telling me something was wrong and took a power trip approach to managing. I guess that’s what happens when you have a bunch of 19-20 year olds running the store who think they’re important because they were promoted to “assistant shift lead”. Managers didn’t help the situation and were dismissive, but then would apologize to you after your shift because of how poorly things were run. Just don’t work here, you can find easier retail jobs with people that don’t suck.
