Vantaggi
-CoWorkers were always great when you were getting along with eachother. -Great college job. - Great job to learn how to deal with customers/angry people. - Great environment when you find a good store (see Cons for more info) -Best Buy management pushed me to get my current job out of the company so I guess that’s a plus.
Svantaggi
- Management can be a joke if the wrong people were hired. - Best Buy felt like High School with all the drama in it (though every non professional job is like that) - Retail sucks with the holidays and Best Buy always gets hit the hardest with angry customers....so knowing that you’re in for a world of pissed off Black Friday shoppers isn’t really a shocker. -(Personal experience) going up in the company is a joke if you don’t suck up 100% of the time. I was in the company for a long time, went into 2 different stores, multiple rebrandings, countless MODs and Sups, and the last store that I was in (store 2509) was a pure joke... Management is hand picked from the worst of the crop but they were liked by the GM, The GM managed a lot with her emotions which I found out first hand when she treated me like trash my last few days of working for her terribly managed store. Let alone the garbage gremlin human being of a supervisor that I dealt with every single day (the woman hated life and made her associates hate theirs which is why her turnover rate was atrocious). I loved Best Buy when I first started working in store 457 but my last store was pathetic and every associate that you see looking miserable there....was miserable for a reason.
