A job for Single people - Recensione dipendente - Deployment Functionality Technician presso Best Buy

Absolutely no work/life balance whatsoever. The Project Team will tell you that we work 4 10 hr shifts instead of 5 8hr shifts, but what they don't tell you is that it will never actually be just 10 hr shifts. It is almost always more and they simply don't care how long they make you work. They force you into overtime and into dangerous situations when you are running on very little sleep. This is an overnight positions and it is not uncommon to work 16hrs, sleep 4 hrs and have to go straight back to work again. They also constantly add a 5th night to our jobs. it is common to have to work 50-70hr weeks. You are on the road almost constantly from March until November. Even when you are posted at a store close to home, the hours make it so that you barely get to see your family. Sometimes they will put you in disgusting hotels that don't have any comforts or conveniences. Other times they will put you in great hotels that feel like home. This totally depends on your leader. Best Buy doesn't pay very well for Project Team. For what they are expecting out of you, they don't pay you well enough. They don't set realistic goals for Project Teams and the store staff almost always hate you because they feel like you're messing up their store when you are there for a remodel. The store staff, managers and market staff have a large amount of contempt for the Project Team members. There is very little upward mobility
