We have had ex mht guys come in and completely fail. It’s a job that you’re either great at or you aren’t. At the same time, in my store alone which has a head count of 6-7 designers, I’ve seen about 10 different people come and go from different walks of life in those past 3 years. There are a good amount of designers who would be taking a huge pay cut to move to Bestbuy ASM. I’ve seen a lot of designers stay in role or move up to Magnolia/Bestbuy management because of their attention to detail. I’ve made 10k+ year over year money wise for 3 years now consecutively.

Don’t get me wrong, magnolia will always have a spot selling high price, good quality product to the top 1% of customers.but programs like TTS and in-home advisors suggest that the company is moving in a different direction. Many may not know, but magnolia services can be quite expensive and I feel like the company is moving away from focusing on magnolia like it once did. What is scary, is seeing that the company is moving towards being a service based company, and programs like TTS really discount many services to nearly nothing. I know there is a TON more I need to learn regarding audio and advanced system understanding, but that does not bother me. However, I do realize that becoming a system designer and making total commission is a totally different ball game. I’ve been working HT for almost a year now and my sales number are close to top for the company. ![]() So I have a good chance of becoming a magnolia system designer. ![]()
