Vantaggi
Decent-ish pay, largely creating orders and managing future clients utilizing the Symphony CRM. Apparently bringing back commission or a bonus structure back? You get to meet a lot of interesting people if you are personable in this role.
Svantaggi
If you get my job title you will be thrown into this with little to no training. They often just throw core sales advisors with no knowledge of appliance and home theater at this job role and hope for the best. Additionally you will be training new associates, as BestBuy is a revolving door for new and former employees. After that you will also be completing tasks that go far beyond your job description which are then added to your job responsibilities if you pick up the slack rather than the people who have positions for that role who should have actually taken care of the tasks you handled out of courtesy. The main issue with almost any Best Buy is that the management plays a very political game to promote people. I get it, every single place is like this but the toxicity of it is insane. As soon as your GM feels pressure they begin to pick favorites and pick who to blame for every issue in their store when they themselves are the problem. Lastly, if you take this job you will not be properly considered for any management role as you are "indispensable" as a sales consultant which they do not disclose to you until after you take the job.
