Pros

Being that It was one of my first employment, Best Buy was a great step up from working at a pizzeria. They teach you a lot and you become certified in many different specialties. My own knowledge of technology improved and the discount is very agreeable. Great team working, great professionalism.

Cons

Working in the store isn't going to get you to corporate Best Buy. I just didnt want to stay there and needed to gain more professional experience.

Pros

You can gain some knowledge of electronic products. The only good thing is that they offer many positions to full-time associates regardless of how well they work. Decent working environment.

Cons

Best Buy does not offer opportunities to students at the college level. I worked there for a while and proved my ability to get the job done fast and quick, yet, they only gave me 5 hours a week. The guy who worked with me, didn't have a car and talked on the phone at least two or three hours during the work time in a "hideout" spot would get 10 or 15 hours a week. Most of my hours were restricted because I was a student. Also, best buy does not really allow for growth, such as project team and other sorts of positions.
