An unholy retail industry that has redundant training, and providing you survive, will indoctrinate you into their low level "blue shirt" cult. The blue-shirts think they are truly respected by upper level management because of the brainwashing recieved during training, but really, they are laughed at whenever seen.

a large retail electronics company located all over the world, that offers reward zone, credit cards, service and replacement plans, magazines and millions of other things no one actually needs. their cashiers also need to give a 10 hour speech to each customer, which makes the lines extremely long.

A corporate electronics store that doesn’t care what electronics you buy, as long as you buy “extras” with it. No one in the company besides from the CEO's and the Investors have any kind of degree after high school. A store filled with weird managers.
*Everyone standing around by the cash register*
Best Buy Manager comes by - "Are you guys ready for some roleplaying??"

Largest electronics retailer and a great place to work. Even if you do have a Master's degree (sorry to the person who says that no one works there beyond high school). Great place for a part-time job...with a tremendous benefit package (even for part-time employees) Employee Discount (cost to company +5%), 401k, Employee Stock Purchase Plan, and Vendor Accommodations.
This company has stayed on the front edge of the curve and is thriving even in this volatile market. The development of the Twelpforce is just the most recent example of how Best Buy is a pioneer in retail. Past things they took the lead on include non-commissioned sales people and eliminating mail-in rebates.

Welcome to Best Buy, how can I help you today?
.....................................................
When many other companies have gone after employee compensation to try to help their bottom-lines, Best Buy has not. Best Buy has continued is matching policy on employee 401ks and has actually improved the profit sharing program (Blue Crew Bucks). It is now quarterly and gives more stores the opportunity to succeed and achieve the goals needed to get the money for the employees.

The best electronics retailer on the planet. They provide the BEST buy by price matching all major competitors and give the best customer service available. If you want to leave laughing/smiling, purchase your TV, computer, DVDs, CDs, etc at a Best Buy store.
Generally, the people who think negatively about Best Buy have either 1) had a bad experience that could happen at any retail store anywhere(these things do happen) 2) use to work at a Best Buy but did not provide exceptional customer service so they lost their job or 3)did not LISTEN when an associated was explaining compounded interest LOL

A place where people can look at electronics in person before going home to buy them on Amazon for a cheaper price.
