Best Buy reviews

The salaries are extremely to low for the amount of work required to perform in the field No Bonuses Their must be advanced notifcations for days off

Once you achieve a certain level in leadership the opportunities to advance are extremely slim. Promotions are based on how chummy you are with management, not based on track record and proven performance. I was constantly being told that I could expect a promotion after a "successful holiday season" for 4 consecutive years. As a supervisor you are expected to do the work of store management while receiving very little recognition for a job well done. Getting time off (even with several weeks advance notice) often takes an act of congress and puts you directly in the path of an inquisition that cannot be avoided. Expect phone calls when out of the store to handle issues that store management should be able to handle; screening phone calls is not an option as you will be swiftly reprimanded upon returning to work. The work done is never good enough. Instead of being proactive about the economic downturn, Best Buy has reacted by looking for a quick fix which has resulted in shifting focus on a seemingly daily basis and giving off a "flavor of the week" mentality based around whatever hot-button metric territory staff is pushing that day.
