      The Light side and Dark side of working at best buy

      Pros

      One of the best reasons to work at best buy is the laid back atmosphere of the store. Usually the managers stay out of my department unless we have a huge MOD issue. Another reason would be the competitive pay rates that Best Buy offers.

      Cons

      A couple of down sides of Best Buy are: The managers have no competence when selling anything, they ALWAYS needs a sales associate to help them out. Favoritism is a huge part of best buy as well, if your not in with the managers good look on getting that promotion.

      Pros

      Discount on merchandise, cost plus 10%, however cost is really not cost. Going over the daily Budget - allowing there sales people in on the macro view of the organization. Blue shirts - jking

      Cons

      Ideology and corporate culture they impose on there staff. Selling overpriced products to ignorant consumers such as Monster Cable - 100% Contribution margin on there products. Selling the Product Service Plan (AKA "Juice" as in "did you get juice on the sale"), Best Buys extended warranty, and trying to meet the goasl of selling the PSP and Monster cables. Poor pay for a department that brings in a majority of the overall sales. Baby Blue Shirts
