      Good Discounts, Horrible Job - Media Specialist Best Buy Employee Review

      Pros

      The discount is amazing. Items can be purchased at the wholesale cost + 5%. A lot of items can come out to be 30-50% off. The work environment is somewhat organized which works out okay compared to a small store, which can be very unorganized. The staff is fun to work with (not including supervisors and managers).

      Cons

      I am scheduled to do plenty of close-open shifts that have less than 8 hours between shifts. The pay is way to low for the amount of responsibility given. Management could care less about your personal life and will deny all time requests off and availability changes. The job is not commission based. Sales begin to lose meaning to lower employees.

      A lot of PTO and good benefits

      There is some micromanaging that takes place and might get hectic at times.

      Pros

      No Need to sell or deal with customers (Much) Constantly moving so you always have a task to do Management leaves you to your own devices Almost all warehouse employees have a set of headphone

      Cons

      Everyone (Cust & employees) Expect an encyclopedic knowledge on where every single item is. Management seems to think we can lift a 85" tv, pull a washer off the top shelf, stock gaming shelves, and handle store pick up at the same moment. Customers think we don't want to help them when we call someone else to help with sales There's almost too much to do and even though we may have 1-3 employees working at a time, 1 is at the door, 1 is behind store pick up, which leaves 1 employee to handle new orders, deliveries, and down stocking.
