Pros

Best Buy had a great discount, decent health benefits, 401k match up to 5%, and a lot of great leaders and employees.

Cons

Best Buy was pretty high levels of stress. I was in a high-performing store, however, it gets exhausting to manage the amount of metrics they throw at you for every category imaginable. It felt though if you succeeded at one, district/corporate management wouldn't even stop to say thanks before they then switched focus to another category you could do better in.

Advice to Management

Simplify your reporting. I'll never forget the time as a mobile manager when I found out that upper management had reporting to show if I was utilizing reporting. Seriously? I would much rather you come in and talk to me, coach me, and inspire me, than sit behind a desk and send me an email telling me I need to view a particular report more often.
