"In working for Best Buy, I have been embraced by my peers with open arms, however have found that there are several barriers that are unexpressed that prevent and unnecessarily burden new external hires from integrating well into the culture.This mindset is not intrinsic to the entire population of Best Buy but varies District to District."

"It's not a good place to work for an adult. A lot of my peers are wonderful people, but the supervisors and managers all practice favoritism to an insane degree. I believe hard work should dictate raises and promotion but not so at Best Buy. Most of the time it's who you hang out with after work."

"I have worked for Best Buy for 16 months and I have loved the majority of it. I have had the opportunity to bring my store to number 1 in the territory which was very exciting as well as rewarding. I love working with the public to make our customers happy and have an enjoyable experience within our store. The only downfall to working at this specific store is that I have asked repeatedly to move to a different position inside the store. I have been denied several times, sadly."

"I worked for Best Buy for 11 years and learned more about leadership than I ever had before. The company was a great place to work until the new CEO took over that was only concerned about the bottom line and not the people that get you the bottom line!"

"If you enjoy diversity and interacting with many different people this is the place for you! They use bleeding edge technology where they can, and are using cutting edge technology on many new and upcoming projects. Last but not least, I would be remiss if I did not mention: Beware of the usual corporate antics. If you're new to this kind of environment, study up on it so you can make the best of it."

"I worked for Best Buy/Geek Squad for six years and the environment turned very poor when there was a major restructuring in 2012. Geek Squad was merged with customer service, weekend work was required, and manager bonuses were based on the department profit, causing managers to be real jerks."
