"Best Buy has taught me what I know about business today. It was an incredible company to work for and I had the opportunity to manage a store that consistently finished top 40 in the company ANNUALLY out of 1,150 locations. Every year I was sent on an overseas excursion on behalf of the company to celebrate. Myself, and my team, based our success on the vision of customer excellence... what is it going to take for that last customer to go home and talk about you to their friends and family."

"Working here at Best Buy definitely has its perks, but my problem is the personal strain I have to deal with because of my immediate supervisor and manager. I am treated as a supervisor, with their responsibilities, when I do not have those job duties listed on my job description. If I am to be treated like one, promote me. Being the 1 full-time guy in my department, I am expected to be the leader of everyone else. It is frustrating that I get yelled at for stuff I didn't do."

"I worked for Best Buy from 2010 until 2013. I enjoyed my time there and I was constantly challenged. The company prides itself on growing from within which I loved. The reason I left was because I wanted a better work/life balance which the company seemed to be straying further and further away from."

"I've worked with Best Buy for 3 months now and I feel like the job I do really reflects the products we sell. There is inconsistency at times with managers, but that's the structure of leadership, and it's independent to its own store. I love Best Buy's ethics."

"I have worked for Best Buy for a little over one year and have found it to be a strong, values-based company that is constantly growing. They have a well-above standard teaching and training program for their staff to be able to uphold their mission of connecting their customers with the complete package of the technology that they seek to own by creating a relationship with the customer to benefit over a long-term period."

Senior Transportation Systems Analyst

"Overall I am satisfied with Best Buy and would not be sad if I stayed there for the next 20 years. That being said when I am writing software and fixing issues within the code I enjoy the work. The problem with Best Buy is a lot of that work is outsourced so I am not seeing as much of it as I would like. Instead I am being tasked with designing and implementing outbound transportation strategy."

"Not a favorable review on my part. Mismanagement, apathy, and they call the event production the churn, and it really is. Not a fan, chose to not re-up my contract with no other work on the horizon."

"I've been working Geek Squad for about 2 months now and I can say that it is a great experience. I love the vibe and the experience it brings. I am really learning a lot and I love helping clients. But, the bad side of working as a Consultation Agent is that there tends to be some clients that arent pleased with the service that we provide. But overall, I love working at Geek Squad."
