Almost 5 years, and it was all downhill
Great vendor relationship, great friends outside of work.
Very bad communication stream. Will hire just about anyone that can pass a drug test and only that test. I have worked at 3 stores and management is all over the place. There is no personal rewards system, only store bonuses. There is no real training. Online training is a joke. Some of the people I worked with are great people but awful at their jobs. Very understaffed, and management takes 6 months to hire people.
Hire people on a trial basis. Pay people more so they can make this a real job and not a temporary job. You can't expect someone to know about 3000+ items and only pay them $9-13 an hour.
People love the Apple Store because they sell 4 items (iPhone, iPad, and Macs). They get paid more and have a specialized area. You can't expect someone that has been selling cellphones for 3 years to sell appliances or an SLR camera.
Management is always selling people on everything, only to make Best Buy and that employee look like a fool. The customer most likely knows more about that item because they have been planning on buying it.
I could go on and on. At one point, I really liked this job, but it just wore me down, and management at my last store was awful. I like what the CEO is trying to do, but people below him are ruining the company.
