Pros
The majority of the people I work with are great. When I go into work, i am always met with enthusiam from my fellow co-workers, lots of hello's, how are you, we missed you! The discounts are wonderful. Best Buy offers a lot of company outings, like picnics, game nights, etc. During early morning meetings, breakfast is always provided, and enthusiam is up. When we have special events going on in the city, or during holiday season, we have special games, contests, and incentives for the employees. Sometimes, vendors will also give certain employees accommodations for their products. Vendors may also come and demonstrate new products, and highlight their features.
Cons
No communication. We have a lot of talking, but definitely no communication. Management has a lot of interaction with the entire store, but the departmental supervisors do not actively participate in hands on training of new associates. I have been there for a year now, and have only worked with my supervisor a small handful of times, and only for an hour or so at a time. When she is there, she is never in our department, she is always out in other area's. Sometimes I can go for a few weeks without seeing her. I never know what has changed in our department, or in the entire store until I seek out a manager.
