Good company. Poor management
Good company. Poor management
Best Buy is in a great industry (consumer electronics) that is fun to work in. The fact that there is no commission actually takes a lot of the pressure off of selling people products they don't need.
The market fluctuates, and when things get tough, management gets nervous and starts to panic. The "pressure" rolls downhill from top management all the way to part-timers.
Try to identify the employees that make customers feel welcome and inform them properly on the products and services they need, instead of promoting the "sharks" that push everything on every customer.
