Best Buy reviews

Hours management customers management

Clueless field supervisors occasionally wanting to ride along, you can get terminated for trivial reasons that do not affect the business or customers. Office politics rampant. Female manageresses are mostly clueless and know little about the products. When you start earning 'too much' its more likely you will get laid off or terminated on the next wave of layoffs. One guy in Calgary was laid off after NINETEEN YEARS, probably because by that time he was earning $23 an hour. As an installer one has to constantly advise customers within the store and at home to head off sharking by the greedy salesmen, or correct often amusingly inaccurate advice as in store salesmen in best buy and future shop can often sell what makes them most comission, not what is best for the customer. Eg, pushing overpriced junk like bose instead of good value stuff like Polk. The company vision and morals/ethics may be fine and happy at HQ, but it can stink at grassroots, it doesn't trickle down.
