Pros

Overall, Best Buy is a good place to work. I feel that somethings need change, but that is for every company. *Discount is awesome! *# of employees helps better assist customers!

Cons

I feel just at our store (I do not want to speak for other stores), communication is the big downfall!

Pros

It is a big company. And the industry is very active in the following couple of decades. So the future is quite good to work in such a company.

Cons

In store, the staff changes very quickly. And the average salary of this industry is a little lower than other industries.

Pros

Good discount, most people were nice, used to be fun until management shift cant really say much else Vendor perks were good too, if you knew how to get them

Cons

I understand that a job is what you make of it but Best Buy was awful for me. Sexist male managers who only hired pretty girls who couldn't spell their own name if they tried. I was getting paid less than someone who did the exact same job and I had a degree and certifications whereas he did not. I had no idea who my managers were since there were so many so outside of my supervisor I was lost. There was no training outside of those eLearnings they made you take and once the holidays were over, I would be lucky to get more than one day a week, although sometimes I would go months without being on the schedule until one day the forced me to quit over something dumb Management had their favorites so if they didnt like you, expect your life to be a living hell. Also the pay was crap. I was making little over $10.50 to start as a PC Tech
