Pros

Autonomy, you don't have to unload trucks, air-conditioned environment, shifts are usually pretty short, products are kind of interesting to work with

Cons

The workload is totally unrealistic for the amount of time you're scheduled for. I worked at Best Buy for less than two months, but I was scheduled every Sunday because the guy who started at the same time I did quit after working on his own for one day. I heard the girl who worked there before us was under so much pressure from the Best Buy general manager that she was crying. A typical Sunday is getting to the store at 5 a.m., printing off hundreds of price tags, and then pulling the old tags and placing new ones using a planogram. Then you have to rearrange the movies and CD's to match the tags. On top of this, there are a lot of other tasks that must be done, such as filling out logs, changing prices on individual items, setting up and stocking other displays, changing signage, pulling merchandise to send back, straightening up the shelves and keeping things clean. You're expected to do all this in five hours or less, even if you're new, sleep-deprived, and totally stressed out. The company makes you use a handheld computer to take "surveys" asking if you completed everything, and you have to take pictures to prove it. Even the people who trained me said to falsify answers because there literally is not enough time. I'm a hard worker, and I moved as fast as my hands would go and only took breaks to go to the bathroom, but could not do it. The Best Buy people are supposed to take over and complete what you can't get to, but they don't do anything to help.

Pros

Solid company in a growth mode currently. Consumer product goods manufacturers are finally getting the picture that Anderson know what it is doing and can be more flexible than most.

Cons

The fast growth at this time sometimes is overwhelming but has leveled off.

Pros

Not many...pay is okay but doesn't really match up to amount of work expected. Saturdays off.

Cons

Poor communication all around. Misinformation given at job interview that did not pan out: pay per hour, travel pay, bonus money available, hours expected to work. Too many ways of getting information required to do job: voicemail, email, mailbag, daily updates, text messages, constant calls from DM. Constant problems with not receiving materials needed to complete job on time due to issue with corporate Best Buy and yet being held accountable for their mistakes. Being resented by Best Buy employees and management because of corporate decision to hire Anderson Unrealistic job expectations regarding large all day projects. Hours cut but yet still same amount of work expected to be accomplished.
