Customer Experience Manager
in Thousand Oaks, CA

"Work at Best Buy, you become their slave!"

What do you like about working at Best Buy?

"Nothing. Make sure if you work here in management that you ask to be highly compensated because you will not get a raise and they own you and your life. You will not have a life nor does Best Buy expect you to have a life outside of their stores. They own you. I have not shopped at Best Buy since and I never will again. Also my family and friends as a result stay away too. Thank goodness for Costco, Sam's Club and Wal-Mart. Hey did you see Wal-Mart's new cell phone section? Buy buy Best Buy."

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"If you need to work for Best Buy and it is salary management, ask for every penny because you are giving your life away. I know of too many people who got divorced or were separated as a result of working as salary management."

What don't you like about working at Best Buy?

"Two faced. They say they support education and growth and development in the company, but if it alters your schedule in anyway forget about it. Want to get your MBA? Better be a supervisor, if you're lucky and not a salary manager."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"If you want to retain the best and the brightest, allow them to further their education."
