"I have the ability to have autonomy in my role, to work my accounts to deliver the best marketing programs to affect change, and I get to work with some of the brightest people I have ever met. There's the standard slowness that comes with a large, heavily regulated industry, but Pru is looking to take intelligent risks in order to do things differently, more quickly, and smarter."

Marketing Manager at Eleven
in Saint Louis, MO

Please give us a one liner to describe this review.

"disorganized - every man for themselves"

What do you like about working at Eleven?

"training was very thorough, which gave a good sense of basic store/company operations."

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

"Interviewing is easy, basic, mostly done on the phone because they are too cheap to fly anyone in. Some basic IQ tests are required, easy to pass on a computer."

What don't you like about working at Eleven?

"disorganized, constant cost cutting, equipment to work with was always used and never worked consistently (eg-used laptops). Lots of nepotism, among top executives. Each department worked in a silo with no overall strategy or communication to the field.Most of the employees are miserable and can't wait to leave or retire."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Create a operations department that vets all emails and combines communications to the field. There's nothing like having every corporate employee email the entire field at $PM Friday to clear off their to do lists. This ensured field level people would be working every Saturday and Sunday to complete work.Also, please do a thorough survey on the field about how corporate employees feel about the support they receive, especially since the giant re-organization in 2011. People are very upset with no 401K contributions, frozen salaries.Lastly, there is NO diversity within this company- this is an old boy's club ."

Marketing Manager at Best Buy
in Richfield, MN

What do you like about working at Best Buy?

"The Best Buy work life balance is a huge plus! The concept of Results Only Work Environment (ROWE) is awesome but, in practice it creates a culture of managers that dial down their performance to only earn a passing grade. Relationships are really important and many employees have been mainstays since BBY was a regional player. Low accountability and expectations are frustrating. Consumer electronics is an exciting industry with fast product life cycles and awesome opportunity to identify unmet needs and develop customer solutions. Retail is fun but a flailing(or failing) ;) business model, makes work difficult and downright demoralizing."

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

"Find out if your business has the resources necessary to actually deliver on the goals and objectives. Also double check on the managers' people management credentials."

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

"Corporate ladder is a mess! Relationships and tenure dictate progress in many areas of the company while other areas are uncharacteristically competitive and difficult to make advancement. People managers run the gamut from really awful to pretty good. The strategic vision is led by old guard big box retail and lacks insight, focus, or the capability to deliver."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Bring in new leadership team to reduce the legacy issues. Be bold! Revamp the business model! Stop the work that isn't aligned with the forward strategy."
