Best Buy Employer Reviews

Meeting and greeting all costumers. Increase company sales revenue, maintain a high closing rate by quickly developing positive customer rapport, and cultivate a strong relationship with all customers to ensure complete customer satisfaction. Most enjoyable part of the job was the customer service aspects of things providing support and going beyond – more...  expectation. My biggest problem is potential for career advancement. – less

Pretty slow days except on weekends. Loved the co workers. Managment always stressed out. A lot of Community Activities.

Best Buy has provided a lot of experience in dealing with new issues. Having SO MANY clients on a day to day basis, you pretty much see everything. I've learned how to handle many difficult issues that result from many different lifestyles.

It was fun working at for the company, employee discounts where great. Staff was very helpful and work as a team.

Rang up customers, whilke keeping a positive attitude and smile on my face.

Fast paced sales enviornment. To be able to multi-task is a must. I have fun as I work and i come into contact with a host of people everyday. I find it exciting to be able to assist customers with their mobile needs.

Learned how to coach cashiers and customer service employees, and do all reports for the Crystal Lake location.

I would show up and immediately begin helping the customers with finding any items that the customers are looking for and if its slow i would restock and organize the shelves until my day was over with. unfortunately the management at this particular store was very rude and showed no respect towards many of their employees and also showed favoritism – more...  besides the management the co-workers were amazing, professional, and very dependable. I would say the hardest part of the job was the my transportation to and from work in the early mornings and the late nights. Most enjoyable part would be how much interaction with the families who came to buy things for others. – less

A typical day at work consisted of serving customers needs.

Best Buy taught me a lot while working there. Everyone was friendly and fair. Even though I was going to school, Best Buy worked with my schedule and still gave me an opportunity to do my best.

You were busy all of the time. Management would jump in and help if it was a busy day and the help was needed, We were constantly being rewarded with dinners, gift certificates, as well as clothing. We were served the dinners by the warehouse manager and the area managers. Everyone was treated as an equal. They really cared about how you were treated – more...  at the job. The benefits were awesome as well as the pay! – less

You'll go in as a sane individual & come out drained. Short if any breaks, constant complaints and nit-picking by Supervisors/Mgrs. even if you are doing great. There has been more employee turnover in a year than I have ever witnessed anywhere I have worked. Mgrs take two hour breaks!!!!! They group in the center of the floor and do nothing all day.

You – more...  get a chance to review your workplace once a year but few are brave enough to speak up since you work a few inconsistent hours, you know the immediate staff will read it and you know the favoritism runs rampant.

Your revenue stats & positive accomplishments are never appreciated. If you are really desperate for work go for it, otherwise do like most of my co-workers, go somewhere else. Since the upper Corporate Mgmt has made a mess of things, the lowly hourly employees will suffer. I see it getting worse.

*Yes I still work here & have no write-ups. – less

I have worked for Best Buy for the past 4 years. I've loved every minute of it. Unfortunately I have run out of advancement opportunities with the company.

Open store. pass money out. handle customer issues Our growth has created a wealth of career opportunities in our stores and at our corporate headquarters. We offer employees exciting work in a fun, dynamic environment that encourages learning and growth.

I love my job. I love answering phone calls and completing sales over the phone. It gives me great pleasure to work for a company that cares about its employees. My job is both fun and very rewarding. Management is understanding and cool. Co-workers are down to earth and it's like being in a family where everyone looks out for one another.

Best Buy has always been a fun place to work. Their motto of "Having fun while being the best" is a definite description of what the job entails.

Fun place to work if you're a student, will make a lot of friends, pressured to sell warranties (no commission).
If you don't sell enough warranties your hours will be cut.
