Best Buy reviews

best buy believes its sales people (the ones actually getting customers to buy the expensive stuff that fuels profits for the whole company) deserved any credit or compensation when they do a good job. the company would rather take the sale guty's commission and give it to his manager who standsx or sits behind him so that he can hassled him about the service plan he didn't attach. after all he gets a bonus if i sell enough service plans. this creates a situation where the only motivation i have to push high margin goods is to keep my boss from reminding me that his bonus dedpends on me selling high margin attachments for him. the problem with this is that the managers don't sell they babysit and tell you what you sholuld have recommend so he can get his bonus. other than him pushing me to earn his bonus for him i make the same pay regardless whether i move 200 or 20000$ worth of goods out the door. in fact i make 10 bucks an hour whether i sell or i fake sell. this working arrangement also leads the managers to insist on pushing employees to do things that our training, company policy, an\d care for our customers would advise against. if you didn't want your boss to give you a hard time or schedule poorly thjen it was strogly encouraged you say whatever. m is needed to sell that service plan afterr all i wouldn't want my boss not to get his bonus right?

Best Buy doesn't care at all about there employees in the slightest form. All it cares about is making it's money. When you first get hired they talk up how much Best Buy cares about their employees, it is basically just a way of making you feel good about getting hired. Personally I have worked there for 4 years this August 09'. I am still a Part-Time Geek Squad Agent after being promised the world so many times I've finally came to the conclusion I am going no where in the company. I have been promised the Geek Squad Senior position twice by my Supervisor, and both times was told by the management that I was far to "incompetent" to do the job, to later been told both times that I needed to now train the person who actually got hired as senior so they would know how to do their new job properly. I have also been promised full-time three times. Once the one full-time agent spot available was given to a new hire with no certifications, no qualifications, and in the end he got fired because he had no idea what he was doing. The other two times they bought people into the department to free up labor from departments that didn't have it. One time it was someone from the Car-Fi department whose technical background consisted of knowing how to login to MySpace. The other was a employee of Digital Imaging, who didn't know the difference between a CPU and a Hard Drive.
