Best Buy Reviews

I was hired amid Best Buy's most chaotic situation, stayed on and brought them through covid in the most successful way possible, only to be let go for no reason and with no appreciation after 19 months. They promised a work place that appreciates and honors the workers on my interview day; my experience was the opposite. They promised a great work life balance; my experience was the opposite. They promised great leadership, training and guidance and I received none throughout my time there. The company is chaotic and messy in term of work process, project management and leadership. They throw 100 tasks at you from various teams and all teams want it done as priority with no proper process and no management involvement. Hence it creates a chaotic workplace and extremely stressful situation most of the time. I encountered many cases of blame game and irresponsible accusations by other teams and my management could not handle the situation and never backed me up. Can't speak of other teams but favoritism happened in my team at BestBuy CHQ on managerial level. They let me go without providing a reason and hired people from abroad in Covid times. All my teammates were shocked and called me indicating they had no idea why or what was going on. Director of IT was a person of bad reputation amongst teams managers and workers. My advice: if you get an offer make sure you can handle lots of stress, no work life balance, no support, favoritism, and the likeliness of being let go without cause.

- Compensation. Pays under market compared to other local companies. Especially in IT - No growth opportunity. Expects someone to be in their position for 5 + years without any sort of growth or learning opportunity - Wants to compete with other big players such as Amazon, Microsoft, Facebook, etc, but lacks the infrastructure to do so. - Losing great talents across the board because of Managers not listening to their employees.
