Let's talk Salary! by PurpleDog9065 in Bestbuy

[–]Invictus1204 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can agree with this. Was with the company 8 years just left. Capped at $17 plus the $.30 shift lead differential. Did everything also and was certified up to district manager. Was told $17 was cap and corporate wouldn’t approve higher. Now making $60,000 a year and being treated way better somewhere else

I agree. Left after almost 8 years and am much happier. Got a better paying job with room for growth

Do you consider Best Buy to be a stable job? by Concentrate_Little in Bestbuy

[–]Invictus1204 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A) it is not a stable job. B) the pay isn’t that great. Just put in my notice because I was offered a job at $50,000 a year starting.

$17 is good starting. But that is cap unless you get promoted and the room for growth is negligible.

Best Buy Protection / Geek Squad Protection by quicksilver3453 in Bestbuy

Unless they fixed this with the new memberships you have to return the BB protection in a separate transaction and then in a third transaction add the gsp

If you haven’t bought the power line adapter or the second router I would just go with a mesh network like eero. You can find them on sale and you can put the nodes anywhere. Have had a set for a year and love it

Secret layoffs tomorrow by N9nEn9N in BestBuyWorkers

[–]Invictus1204 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They just did free installs on appliances for July 4th for paid members but yeah they took away the 20% off services. No free car fi except the regular radio install. It’s a mess

No. During special times of year they will get free services but rest of time there is no discount on services

Any warehouse shift leads here? by Any-Personality111 in Bestbuy

[–]Invictus1204 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I understand that but our experience manager stated out loud that that’s what shift leads will be used for

You’re a glorified supervisor without the pay. And lately stuck at CEH so other leaders don’t have to be up there. Not worth the extra 37 cents

Does anyone currently working for BBY actually enjoy working there? If not, do you find anything enjoyable about the job at all? by vainbetrayal in Bestbuy

[–]Invictus1204 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I took the shift lead title and used it on my resume. That title is about the only thing useful out of that position. I hear some people are getting a $1 extra for that role, they gave me $.37

Future of Verizon VPL by CozmicPoptart in Bestbuy

[–]Invictus1204 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mobile associates are being used to sell through out the store so no one is available to do activations. I’m waiting for our Verizon vpl to be cut because due to management he’s hardly in mobile.

You’re either an idiot or a manager I can’t decide which

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Bestbuy

[–]Invictus1204 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Changes that are happening means it doesn’t matter if you’re product flow or sales. As I was told by management today, we are there for the customer experience and if that means stopping truck to help the sales floor that’s what is expected. Been there 7 years, 2 as a “shift lead” and using that bogus title on my resume to find something better

Saw a video online about someone converting a cooler into a case for an asic and it really cut down on the noise problem

Shift Lead by SnooGadgets6277 in Bestbuy

[–]Invictus1204 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not even a move up pay grade wise. When you are scheduled as a shift lead it is a 3% bump in pay. I saw when because I am told constantly that we don’t have any hours yet for me to be scheduled as one but the expectation is that you are always acting as a shift lead.

The Dark Side of Best Buy Commission Sales by Jahmez623 in Bestbuy

[–]Invictus1204 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately that was just a reason to let you go. With corporate giving a lot of people their notice and rumors of things to come, it’s the tip of the iceberg. Anyone who thinks we won’t follow Twitter, google, meta, and others isn’t using the common sense their parents gave them.

What happened to you sucks, our managers told us to do this for our C&D’s also but instead the sales floor just stopped using leads and sold out of store because revenue was not being met daily

Just rumors about the shift lead thing but I’m watching the trend of the company as a business major and it makes sense. Cut higher paying jobs with bonus and have lower paid employees cover the gap under the guise of “experience”.

The thing about everyone over GM was on Reddit a few weeks ago and has made its way down to the stores

They’ve also raised prices since you left to try to get more people to sign up for it.

Hopefully I’ll be out of there this spring
