Best Buy Loss Prevention

Hello out there. I'm not a stool pigeon or anything like that, but when it comes to Loss Prevention and Best Buy, be prepared to stand in front of a 13'' tv monitor, look at cameras, greet incoming and outgoing customers and long hours of standing. I worked at one recently and I exceeded the standard by about 120% and they showed me no consideration. I'm former military with way more security experience that they were paying me. I was told on several occasions that I do "too much" for the rate of pay I receive. They will only focus on numbers, selling magazines and revenue, not your views and opinions. Loss Prevention is at the bottom of the totem pole at Best Buy. Before you bleed blue, I would try Sears, KMart, Concord Mills Mall (Burlington Coat Factory), etc. I've been "over there" (won't mention country) three times and have secured the most well-known political figures in the owrld and all they wanted to pay me was $10/hour. Go to lpjobs.com if you're interested in the world of Loss Prevention. Avoid Best Buy at all costs!

Thats funny - I too am former military and DOJ with an extensive security background and applied for a senior mgmt position in LP after a recruiter contacted me - never got a reply which was ok except that I was more than qualified...b/c I have done LP consutling in the past for elect companies, I also know the level of apathy most companies have re LP - they dont want to eliminate, just tolerate shrink. Good luck.

Guys, check this out to get a job you REALLY deserve!

Thats also pretty funny because I also work at Best Buy, I worked there for 3 months as LP and its horrible. I have 4 years Loss Prevention Experience with JC Penney's and Macy's. Best Buy is horrible with LP, you cant do anything and you get yelled at for doing your job. They are more concerned with numbers and RZMCs then anything else. I get $10hr when technically I am supposed to be making way more then that with my experience. I am leaving Best Buy and going to TJ Max as a Loss Prevention Supervisor. Stay Away from Best Buy!
