      Pros

      The people that you work will will vary. I worked with awesome people. The benefits are awesome too. Lots of community involvement opportunities.

      Cons

      Advancement is hard. You'll have to know how to work the politics side of things. Then there are people there that do not work hard enough to make our lives easier.

      Pros

      First and foremost, the discount. 5% over what Best Buy pays for it. If your nose is a different color than the rest of your face, then the opportunities for advancement abound. There are "accomodations" which give you discounts direct from the manufacturer.. though I have yet to see one that actually appeals to me. If you work in a specific department, there may be more that you qualify for. You'll be able to see them all, but you may not qualify for them. Working in the warehouse, you'll be able to have the most fun, as there tends to be a slightly "rougher" group there.. (the "social misfits", we call them... :-)) All in all, there is fun to be had by all.. no matter which department.. it's just a matter of the quantity..

      Cons

      If you're not in sales, you're chopped liver. If you ARE in sales, and don't achieve your goals (not mandated by corporate, by the by), you're chopped liver. If your opportunities abound, then you're untouchable. What with the recent reorganization, I can't really break it down by department very well.. so here goes: If you're in Sales, you'll have undefineable goals that the corporate office wouldn't commit to. If you're in the warehouse, you'll have indiscriminate deadlines to meet that you'll me fighting against the sales team and management (at the same time) to meet. If you're in Ops (cashiering) you're screwed, unless of course, as I previously mentioned, your nose is a different color than the rest of your face.
