Best Buy reviews

They reorganize every year, which leads to anxiety about loosing your job. There is no incentive to grow with the company any longer, because the higher you go the more of a chance your job will be eliminated. They recently rolled out a year ago the United States Operating Model and for the most part, it was a good idea, but it put managers in reviews with associates more than running the floor or working in their discipline. They rolled out an asset protection lead position that was amazing, but then took AP away from the door and wondered why shrink shot through the roof... then realized that was crazy and brought them back to the door. Think before you act BBY.

Best Buy has to have been one of the most difficult and challenging places to work. There are rarely any opportunities to move up in the company. What is more than likely to happen is that Best Buy will hire someone from outside the company or someone who is already in a management position in the organization, but rarely from the bottom up. As their business has begun to shrink and also spike downwards, they've had to make major adjustments to the business as well as to the positions in the store, so it is common to have one associate wearing two or three hats for the same pay. I wouldn't recommend it. Period. It's not worth the time or the pay for retail.
