overall the work atmosphere at Best Buy leaves a lot to be desired, bad things really does roll down hill in this place. I was hired as a part time sales associate while I was completing my high school diploma, at first it seems like a fantastic place to work for a part time kid. After three years, I was borderline suicidal while working. The management pretends to care about all employees but are severely biased towards those who suck up the most. The pay is uneven and only reflects how much the General Manager likes you as compared to how good your work ethic is. What they taught us to do as sales associates was to secretly rip people off and make it look like we care about their well being. We were cut hours if we didn't push unnecessary attachments that would bring up the overall sales numbers. Most employees were expected to work over their breaks and were limited how many times we were allowed to sit or even use the washroom. Managers would follow you around like hawks waiting to point out the tiniest mistakes you make. Anyone above the supervisor level had such a huge power trip they could barely contain their joy in writing up poor part time kids.

Points négatifs
Long hours. small breaks. awful work environment
No room for advancement and a lot of micromanagement from the store leader to your immediate sales lead. This work is predominantly for kids in university.
Points positifs
Employee discounts
Points négatifs
Micromanagement, no room for growth
L'équipe de travail est très agréable, tout le monde se respect et tout le monde fait de son possible pour te faire sentir à ta place. Par contre, si tu applique au Bestbuy c'est que tu aimes VENDRE! Que ce soit en temps que caissier ou vendeur un de tes objectifs principaux sera de vendre VENDRE VENDRE et il y a beaucoup de pression à ce niveau là. Aussi les pauses sont seulement de 30 minutes non payé, à peine le temps pour manger ton lunch. Sinon, les horaires sont assez flexible et c'est parfait pour quelqu'un qui est aux études.

Bonne ambiance
Points négatifs
Courtes pause, pression pour vendre
Awesome place team staff management to work with , do your job you will get noticed and rewarded, then you will get promoted for sure, just work smart and be team player, and for sure you will get more knowledge and experience where you can climbed the top.In general nothing can be perfect, but working with Best Buy is second to none.

Genuinely, unless Best Buy is your only option for work don't work here. The CEO laid off a massive amount of people during the pandemic, while giving out bonuses and having a massive spike in sales. Best Buy does not care about people. In particular in Saskatoon, at one of the locations the manager laid off a group of people and less than a month later has their jobs listed on the site. Scummy and underhanded behavior. Once again, unless it is your only option, don't work at Best Buy.
Points positifs
Good employee discount, fun coworkers.
Points négatifs
Underpaid, overworked, terrible management.
Fun place to work at. The only con is the advancement issue. You get medical benefits Too and IT products to test for free. Other than that the best thing that I remember is you get goody bags too

Racism, Favouritism
It seemed to be a fun place to work. But for No Pressure sales it was clearly pressured. Making sales making sure that warranty was attached every time (even told to discount product for warranty or services. Cause we werent "hitting numbers") Was doing to much interdepartment tasks. Was told it was for sales not the warehouse or custimer service. Watched to many knowledgeable people walk out the door while the incompetent employees kept their jobs. Communication between management and employees is lacking. Supervisors have too much on thier plates from management and push that on to staff. It was a clearly favourtism amoungst management. Would buy Starbucks for ONLY Supervisors and Management or the MOBILE department no one else. If they like you it doesnt matter whether you can do the job. It sucks to hear when you hear they let people go due to covid but had a great year financially. Unprofessional and disorganized.
Points positifs
Great Discount
Points négatifs
Everything Else
Best Buy is not a place to build a career or expect those in management to support you. If you want to get anywhere be prepared to suck up to the so called leadership team. While the majority of coworkers can be great and fun people to work with, the people running the store will only show slight care in you if you stroke their ego.There is no loyalty and the atmosphere can really strain a lot of people mentally and emotionally. The “leadership” at this store will often tell you things that aren’t true when it comes to aspects like feedback and compensation. Your review will never be discussed and you are expected to just accept any form of a pathetic raise they give you. I went years without once having a sit down to go over an evaluation.The politics and favouritism at the store level is consistently mentioned with employee feedback and is never fixed. But what can you expect from a company that allows leaders to hold position when doing shady things to make numbers look better.“Leadership” spends more time in the back room than on the floor.
Points positifs
Great coworkers
Points négatifs
Leadership, favouritism, low raises
Very fun environment to work in. Everybody in the branch treats each other like family, cracking jokes and doing stuff that just makes it fun for everyone.A typical day consists of putting items on shelves (and making them look pretty), making sure the tags on the shelf are accurate to the item, take care of online orders and returns, and finally making sure the store and warehouse is clean. Although it sounds uneventful and boring, the people you work with really help you get into the mood.It is a difficult, endurance-testing job if you're working the winter holidays, and truck day during those times are definitely the hardest part of the job. The most enjoyable part of the job would be that you're working with great people who make the workplace fun!Overall, I enjoyed my time here very much. I would definitely recommend working here.
Great place to work. Great benefits, from a medical and dental plan to the employee share ownership program. Good work/life balance and flexibility.

Salary
Enjoys firing their fulltime members both old and new alike; despite years, and in some cases, decades, of loyalty and hard work. Then state "financial reasons" for the firings, despite making profits so good that all employees got a bonus.Company has a terrible habit of playing favourites with employees, preferring, and treating better, the ones who play games with them, hang outside of work, etc. A problem the company knows very well of, and claims to be trying to change, yet nothing has changed.They'll fire a 15 year full-timer just to bring in cheaper part timers.If you need a quick. temporary job, go for it. If you're looking to make a career, find somewhere else.
Points positifs
Simple work, good discounts
Points négatifs
Clueless management and Company that doesn't reward loyalty.
When hired I was told it’s a relaxed non-commission sales environment, after being there for longer you learn that managers will push you to the extremes to sell the protection plans and memberships, getting questioned when you don’t get it on every single item and being told you need to do better so they can get their bonuses. There’s a cliquey environment and management will walk around and talk about you behind your back WHILE YOU'RE WORKING. Benefits weren’t bad and neither were hours but the little things just pick away at you until you’re not the same person you were when you were hired. For a company that claims to care about mental health they did a great job of putting me in therapy.
Points positifs
Good hours over holidays, some good people, decent benefits
Points négatifs
Manager talk bad about you behind your back, mental health is completely ignored, unrealistic sales targets from people who aren’t even dealing with customers
Amazing friendships were made and truly enjoyed what I did. Just felt under appreciated by the management. Also, for the amount of work we did I don’t think we were paid enough.
Points positifs
Free lunches sometimes, fun people
Points négatifs
Low pay, expect too much from you
It's difficult because jobwise, Best Buy is a great starter job or summer job. But the people I worked with made my life miserable, very much a high-school atmosphere (doesn't help the majority of employees are under 20), but not the best experience there, lots of drama. But as a workplace it had great employee discounts, fun jobs, ways of moving up or learning more.
Points positifs
Discounts, flexible scheduling
Points négatifs
Poor management decisions
I worked in four locations, most great with a couple little issues here and there. I do find that there are a few bad apples in management who try to push people around, and that there is definitely gossip and cliques in the workplace in certain locations. Overall though, I loved working here for five years. The massive problem is that this company takes no pain in letting half of their staff go for no reason, simply for "restructuring" to a new business model. It seems as though full time, and the highest paid associates were targeted first in this recent mass-layoff (referred to by some ex-associates as "Order 66"). Kind of makes you think it was all a waste of time when you've been so dedicated. Other issue was with the benefits (Sun Life). Sun Life is incredibly rude and will find any loophole they can to deny your coverage. While this is no fault of Best Buy's, they should definitely consider switching benefits providers.
Points positifs
Discount, mostly friendly environment, fun workplace
Points négatifs
Cliques, favouritism by management
As a company, this place was great. The Belleville location though was horrible to work at. The management team is honestly a joke. There's a bunch of people there who are terrible at their job or just don't do anything, but face no consequences. If you are a good worker they will push you too far and take advantage of you. Problems never get solved and turn into bigger issues.
Points négatifs
Poor management
I spent a total of 6 years at Best Buy. I was in many departments and levels of responsibility. The one thing I realized is that it doesn’t matter how long you’ve been with the company, They will find a way to drop you. As you progress through the retail leadership structure. You begin to realize you are given more and more to do sometimes doing the work of multiple departments while still being paid for your initial role. Micro managing is to be expected and be ready to get thrown under the bus at a moment’s notice. The 4 pillars the company is based on hide a hidden message:Learn from challenge and change - they will create difficult environments and make changes where less people will have to do more work. Unleash the power of our People - give part timers and full timers more responsibility so that managers can relax but be ready to be thrown under the bus at a moments notice Show, humility, respect, integrity - self explanatory. Don’t lie. Don’t steal. Be respectful. Have fun while being the best - this one is the most misleading. Being the best means hitting all the targets, some ridiculously high. Having fun is smiling and enjoying it while dying on the inside. Honestly, it’s a great part time job. Do not recommend for longevity.
Points positifs
Good pay. Great benefits. Some good people.
Points négatifs
Hours. Pay. Taxes.
Management was amazing everyone is so caring and understanding. Very flexible work schedules. Only got let go because of covid as many employees did. The company as a whole is pretty good the discounts on most things were very good and they even had employee appreciation discounts were pretty good as well
