Pros
Best Buy was a decent place to work if you are simply looking for somewhere to collect a paycheck. Since I am extremely interested in music, it was rewarding to be able to work in the media department where I was surrounded with music and people looking for advice on music all day. A good deal of the rest of the staff was pretty young, which helped the team dynamic quite a bit. And of course, one of the biggest perks of working there was the employee discount, which can be pretty significant on some of the items in the store.
Cons
The biggest downside of working at Best Buy is the fact that the work just simply isn't rewarding. Days definitely drag on and the work is extremely repetitious. It can be a little bit rewording helping people pick out something that they were looking for, but weren't able to decide for themselves, but the majority of the day is spent essentially doing busy work. Company culture does not necessarily facilitate a great group dynamic, so while my team members were friendly, there really wasn't much of a connection between all of us. Upwards mobility in the company also seemed pretty limited.
