      Pros

      Fun, energetic, young sales people, cool technology, exciting change of environment constantly, Strong emphasis on customer care and satisfaction, up to date technology on tracking shipment methods and order/processing, must love fast paced on your feet environment though.

      Cons

      Climb the ladder to management based on bureaucratic climate in store, district, and region. Changes in structure of stores and management can be annoying, it doesn't necessarily limit you from getting there, but can make the job more difficult or stressful due to constant changes and always having to adapt

      Lost in Translation

      Pros

      The best reason for working at Best Buy are the people - those who fight on to do the right thing regardless of the built in obstacles, the innovative products, and the employee discount to buy those products.

      Cons

      Old backward Future Shop culture dirties and drags down new futuristic Best Buy vision. The efforts of highest senior management are lost in the intrigues of middle managers and a intrusive, manipulative HR group.

      Pros

      Great Discount on Products. Decent Pay if it is a second job, or you're young. Lively Atmosphere and a great way to meet people.

      Cons

      Hours can be rough (especially on "truck" nights) Management decides to overrule LP (this makes our function worthless) Mandatory staff meetings if you're not scheduled to work that day/time
