Best Buy Leadership Employee Reviews

What do you like best about the leadership team?

The leader I have currently is one of the best leaders I've had in my entire retail career. He is the type of leader that will build his team up instead of bark orders. I have seen him rebuild broken employees myself included into something great. I will never again in my lifetime witness such amazi

Clear enterprise and team objectives. Communication of organizational changes has improved. More defined processes for collaboration across verticals would go a long way to unlocking more creativity.

At the lowest levels, leadership cares and tries to make your job easier. At the highest level, leadership is rather detached from their hourly employees and effectuate few positive things at the store level.

The help and appreciation they give.

they are very good at constructing ideas.

Best Buy's in store leaders are amazing at least at my store, they emphasize that you work to live. You do not live to work.

Always friendly and care about us and our experiance

Review from Sales Dept

They understand what it takes to develop an employee and set a path for success in whichever direction in the company the employee wanted to go. I followed my manager from the time he hired me as seasonal to System Designer of Magnolia and Designer of best buy

Review from Design Dept

They are good people extremely helpful

They are one of the last leaderships who take time to know employees in and out of the store as people. They love each other as we are family. My gm actually is the leader I spent decades hoping that would show up and I am delighted for all of them

Theyre very chill and laid back

Says they care but fail to truly show it

Review from Sales Dept

listens to and helps us in solving problems and supports us in a positive manner.

My store management is doing great for what they have to work with but the problem comes from the fact that we are minimumly staffed which causes anger amongst customers and goes against the edge of having people to assist you

They are kind and jolly, they are very flexible with the schedule if you can’t come to work on certain day

Review from Sales Dept

Strong intention and practice of embracing humility

Review from HR Dept

Sometimes they make me feel valued

The low level managers do care for the employees that work under them in the Stores and in geek squad field. The upper level management though is sending down orders and changes that are hurtful to the company.

Leadership tries their best with what they have to work with, which keeps shrinking for staff but increasing on responsibilities. Constant pressure on Credit Cards and Tech Support Membership. Zero care on anything else.

What does the leadership team need to get better at?

communication. training. staffing. organization. leadership skills

Accountability, Understanding, Constructive feedback, rewarding employees

Learning customer service skills, people skills, morality, just basic things that make you a decent human.

Recognizing individual difference and different methods of selling

Review from Sales Dept

No stop work of work end don't west time

Everything, they just don’t car

Corporate needs to get back to caring about employees

Hiring more employees, the return of specialized departments, warehouse teams no longer wearing blue shirts because we don't want to be stopped by customers asking us to ring them out or solve their technical issues because we're the "geeks"

Paying their workers more money

Being Proactive in protecting health of employees.

Review from Design Dept

Compassion for employees working in stores

communicate, less number focused overall. actually care about employee well-being and accomodation

They need to care anout employess and help out not just be locked in there hub 24/7 also never around to give keys for items

Review from Sales Dept

Training needs to be implemented

Communication, leaderahip that doesnt lead from an office

micromanaging is a huge issue and it's burning most of us out

Not micromanaging and being greedy about numbers, especially to those who consistenly hit their sales targets and make the company 10-20x what they're paid. Showing your employees your appreciation in a way that doesn't end with "Now how can we do better and sell more?" is a good place to start.

The executive team literally told the entire company the fire employees because sales dropped when the stores where closed inside do to covid assuming online sales where always going to stay high after the stores reopened after covid.in short customers in person dont mater as much their bonus does

Review from IT Dept

paying employees a competitive wage and recognizing excellence

Review from Sales Dept

Leadership are a bunch pompous people, you rarely see them and they manage from their cell phones.
