Best Buy reviews

Unreasonable pay caps for positions, 3% annual raises (doesn't match inflation), poses as mental health friendly (they're definitely not), will allow you to get verbally abused by customers daily and still give them what they want, let go of over half the company in 2021 (including loyal employees of over 10 years) and replaced them with part timers. The CEO played it off as something she didn't want to do and that it hurt her, but then turned around and did that. The type of company to make INCREDIBLE profits and only reward management and not increase income for the people who bring in the money for them: the salesmen, the entry level workers. Will hourly announce on walkie-talkies about how many credit cards and Total Tech sales we make, then harassing us to get more, which comes off as so tone deaf when you've got employees barely scraping by with their income, expected to be customer's punching bags, working cl-opening shifts, expected to pickup on all of the cut jobs and not get pay raises for that increase in responsibility. This is the kind of company that will see the low morale and do nothing about it. The door is a revolving one, new faces that don't know the ugly history of this company in its recent years.

- This company is trying its best but the cracks are starting to show. I'm a pretty optimistic employee, but seeing so many of my coworkers leave at once, both due to poor conditions, poor pay and poorer management makes me honestly quite sad. While I personally enjoyed a lot of my time here there's some things to be aware of: The pay starts at $15 an hour, but they don't give you many opportunities to go further. They start you on the cash register for a few days and ship you off into the sales floor to see if you sink or float. This is primarily a sales job where their only real care is memberships such as the TotalTech yearly subscription and the Best Buy Card. These are useful additions, but we are taught to bring them up often and center the entire customer interaction around them. To Best Buy, you are nothing if you don't have at least one of these memberships because it's the only way they're turning a profit these days. And now they are bleeding workers because people are realizing they don't care that the stores are understaffed, as long as they can run. - Also be prepared for established things to change at random and expect this often. We move product around the store to optimize the customer experience
