      Best Buy Canada - Good intentions - flawed execution

      Senior merchandise manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Basic health and dental benefits Wide range of opportunities across the country - usually requires relocation Some newer services for employees, such as Gym (employee paid) Employee Discount

      Cons

      Lack of accountability, leadership and innovation is prevalent throughout the company. Old boys network - promoting from within from stores leadership into unrelated senior leadership roles. In spite of a massive dominant market position, fails to drive and capture new markets and opportunities. Example: Deploying 300 DVD self-serve kiosks across the country at a time when the entire industry has transformed to digital content? Installing high priced Express product kiosks in Dollar stores?

      Pros

      -They pay above minimum wage -PLENTY of hours during holiday season -Very respectful of school hours, other jobs, and just general life. -Great treatment from company -Plenty of opportunities to get extra hours (volunteer for midnight openings!) -Store I worked had lots of drawings for cash or lunch or rewards for selling a certain amount or signing up a certain number of credit cards. -Lunches you get paid to go to. -They want you to get paid for coming in and filling out paper work. Awesome! -ETK

      Cons

      -Management expects you to follow customers around and bother them to buy something. I've heard a few customer complaints on this. -Most of the people in the computer section were lazy towards their jobs.
