      Pros

      Easy to get promoted if you work hard and take on responsibility. But really it is the people...plain and simple. What other job lets you make a living by helping customers, employees, and yourself? You get plenty of opportunities to create relationships with customers and employees. Every day I work, my only goal is to help people. The more employees I help(train, coach, etc) the more profit we make. The more customers I help, the more profit we make. Both in turn get me a bonus as a supervisor. The happier my customers and employees are the lower my turnover and the higher my profits. Figure out how to do that and you will move up the best buy chain VERY fast.

      Cons

      Dealing with management in the store. Depends on the store but some managers are just incompetent and are promoted based on personal performance not team performance. If everyone hates you in your dept but you perform well you get promoted...no matter your turnover.

      Pros

      I love helping customers i will do anything in my power to help. the pay for the area i live as great and i love working with my equals and below. the discount is great.

      Cons

      management at the store level is unfair and rules the store with out remorse. i only wish ceo's and vp's knew what went goes on at a store level and how jobs are given because of friendships or personal feelings rather than based on workman ship or knowledge. how some employees are told not to apply for jobs because they would not even be given a chance how part time employees can be promoted to management over full time and supervisors. how some managers never make improvement but they keep their jobs when they cost the company money and treat the employees like we don't matter when if it was not for the line level the store would not be able to run because if they had to do our jobs they would not know what to do.
