Pros

This company is a great company to work for if you are a part-time employee and don't have too many responsibilities. The environment here is amazing, and I've connected with my peers here more than at any other company.

Cons

The position I was hired for never came my way once it opened. In fact, I was passed up twice due to me not being developed enough, which wasn't really my problem since I kept asking for it. Upper management isn't at recognition, which really makes one feel as though their hard work isn't appreciated.

Advice to Management

People development goes a long way. It all starts with your employees, and then you will have the happiest customers out there. If your employees don't feel appreciated and/or challenged, they tend to not have anything to look forward to when going to work. I've worked in two different Best Buy locations now, and have yet to find one manager that cares about developing their team as much as I care about developing mine, besides my very first manager that moved to corporate a few months after I started there. I learned more from her in just a few short months than I've learned from any other manager in the past 3 years with the company.
