BB Emps hide themselves. They don't put in effort enough to find phonescoop.com. Trust me you won't find any here.

I worked for BBY as part of the geek squad. I hated every minute of it.

I don't know why anyone would want to admit that they work there, at least in a positive way.

Best Buy can suck my left nut.

i was a sales rep for bestbuy. it was lame. they want you to make a point to tell every customer you talk to and help that you're non-commission, like it's going to make them think you're not trying to sell them on something. 🤨

How did you get paid then? Bonuses? Incentives?

Surely not just strictly hourly...otherwise, what's your motivation to sell?

Just to clarify, the MANAGERS get the bonuses, the sales people get nothing. The only thing you earn there is your hourly rate, and the only incentive you have is to not get yelled at by the 4, or 5 bosses that you have at any given time, or for said bosses to cut your hours to almost nothing 'til you quit.

The place sucks balls.

actually they do get a bonus at the end of each month.
since they merged into the Best Buy Mobile from just being "wireless", they are the only ones in the store that get an incentive at the end of each month if they do well and hit goal.

actually when i worked there we had access to just about anything except sites that wouldnt be acceptable for work places. but we had access to all of the major competitors websites. and any cell phone company website. i dont know about this site. as they do monitor all the web access in the store.

They're still tools. The cell phone people in there are actually contracted through an outside company that pays best buy rent and pays the employees nothing.

Bestbuy customer service sucks. I could do the job of three of their employees put together. Save them some damn money on payroll.
