      The Big Leagues Aren't Always the Best Leagues - Seasonal Sales Associate Best Buy Employee Review

      Pros

      Great discount on proprietary Best Buy products, Insignia, Rocketfish, etc. etc. Fairly relaxed group of coworkers and supervisors.

      Cons

      No faith in inventory system, lackluster training, not commission but sales are tracked and you're still pressured to meet a quota, somehow. Lackluster equipment supply, namely price scan guns, only 2 in whole store with only one spare battery. No respect for requests off, at all. Closing means you stay until the store is closed, not until you are scheduled, so if you say you can work until 10, and the store closes at 9:30, especially during the holidays, expect to be there until midnight. Serious disconnect between lower management and staff, very clique-y in that regard.

      Pros

      A lot of PTO and good benefits

      Cons

      There is some micromanaging that takes place and might get hectic at times.

      Pros

      No Need to sell or deal with customers (Much) Constantly moving so you always have a task to do Management leaves you to your own devices Almost all warehouse employees have a set of headphone

      Cons

      Everyone (Cust & employees) Expect an encyclopedic knowledge on where every single item is. Management seems to think we can lift a 85" tv, pull a washer off the top shelf, stock gaming shelves, and handle store pick up at the same moment. Customers think we don't want to help them when we call someone else to help with sales There's almost too much to do and even though we may have 1-3 employees working at a time, 1 is at the door, 1 is behind store pick up, which leaves 1 employee to handle new orders, deliveries, and down stocking.
