Great job, not a career
Great job, not a career
Unique retail/sales environment. You genuinely feel like you're able to help people, even if it's just to make them a little less scared of the tech in their life.
Highly social, very friendly work environment; I still hang out with my former coworkers and I don't think I'll ever have such a vibrant and diverse team to work with again.
Loads and loads of office drama. I worked in a smaller store, and everyone knew everyone else's private lives.
This played out on a market-scale level, too. Our assistant manager quit due to an ASM from another store badmouthing him and trying to get him fired.
Your advancement at Best Buy, at every level, seems to depend on how well you can schmooze with your higher-ups.
Listen to your employees. We see everything and we are telling the truth.
