      The best opportunity in retail

      Sales manager

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Each store is generally staffed with people of the same mindset, which makes for an energetic culture among the people in the stores. It is a fun, fast-paced environment where employees are constantly surrounded by the latest and greatest gadgets. Excellent training is provided and the company is forward thinking, making it leaps and bounds beyond its competition. Best Buy is one of the highest paying jobs in retail for those willing to give it their all. It will provide a thorough foundation for any future in sales or business. Employees learn a tremendous amount of sales techniques, product knowledge, and business acumen.

      Cons

      Some bonus structures are not based directly on controllables that reflect job performance. Company has improved focus on work/life balance, but still has work to do. Overall workload is unrealistic, at times.

      True Blue, only at Best Buy

      Product process associate

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      For me it's the flexability of scheduling they give me. And the absolute best reason is the outstanding employee discount and employee accommodations offered.

      Cons

      Retail hours. Enough Said! Also in my past experiences the company tends to hire from outside the company when looking for leadership positions.

      Great place if your schedule is open

      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      It's a fun place to work. The management at my store is great, very helpful and flexible. The discount is awesome (cost +5% on most things). Most employees are in their twenties so it's a young environment. Always worked with my schedule when I needed a certain day off. Great place to work if you are in college or just need something part time.

      Cons

      Pay is average, almost everyone has to work random shifts so it's hard to get a good sleep cycle, hours fluctuate from 32-40 (not good when you're on a budget). Customers don't respect you much, but this is typical in a retail setting.
