Best Buy

Leadership training was phenomenal here. Maybe it was just my GM and my DSM, but I got amazing training into where I needed to be and how to get there. They recommended different books and various things to read. I never had any issues with benefits or perks. The discount is absolutely amazing.

I was laid off. This, in and of itself, is part of the work that happens in the real world, so no sour grapes there.

The true upper management of the company isn't getting out ahead of what is happening. There are multiple companies that have gone down this same route that Best Buy is currently heading down. They did a lot of the same things that Circuit City, Sears, and Montgomery Ward all did. With the possible exception of Sears, who still loses from time to time (what business doesn't), all are closed down and out of business.

Talk to the employees more. Study previous businesses and why they failed.

Those that don't remember history are doomed to repeat it.
