Depends on what you apply for specifically. Yes there are drug and background checks though THC/weed isn’t a factor

It’s retail. The managers will push you to sell as much shit to people as you can, with special extra emphasis on memberships they probably don’t need or want, or credit card sign-ups. Expect to have to do this with every single interaction. Expect your managers to be lenient at first but after a while you’ll start to face accountability if you can’t sell memberships, Geek Squad Protection Plans, or get people to sign up for a credit card (which does count as a hard credit check and might affect their credit scores). Pay is every two weeks on Fridays typically. The major federal holidays are recognized as company holidays, with a few exceptions. Health insurance used to be pretty good. United Healthcare or Blue Cross Blue Shield in most places plus a new one I think they just started offering. Tuition assistance and a few other nifty programs for certain people. The employee discount is okay. It used to be significantly better. Your hours will likely be dictated. Y your performance. If you’re able to hit all your sales goals and metrics, you’ll get plenty of hours most likely. Your days off are typically not the same every week, and they’re usually not back to back. You know, typical retail bullshit. It’s good sales experience for other jobs in sales, like insurance and what have you. It’s a decent job compared to working at a shithole like Walmart, that’s for sure. More on reddit.com

for those who feel TL;DR: Best Buy fucking sucks now. It’s not what it used to be. The culture is gone and your day to day life is absolutely horrendous. It’s good for the discount if you plan working here very briefly to buy stuff. But who knows where that’s going with tariffs. You do not want to work here and no one should be excited or hopeful to get a job here. More on reddit.com

If it’s a remote position for Best Buy there’s a likely chance you’re gonna get auto denied on the application . Just prepare yourself to get an email that may say we are moving on without you blah blah blah. The candidate pool for remote work is hundreds of people at a time and sometimes they just flat out can’t even try everyone. It’s frustrating when you’re beyond over qualified for what you apply for in a remote position and can’t even interview to show how much better you are than the rest of the joe shmos who get an interview lol More on reddit.com
