Pros

The benefits and opportunities at Best Buy are pretty good. For an hourly employee, you can join their Stock Program and get incredible discounts. You get to meet a lot of different people from a lot of different backgrounds. In addition, Best Buy does a great job at encouraging everyone to work as a "team." They have team meetings everyday before the store opens to make sure everyone is on the same page and aligned with the same goals. The work atmosphere can get hectic, but if you like a fast pace it becomes something to look forward to.

Cons

Their senior leadership seems to be incompetent. Things that happen don't happen for a reason and they don't seem very responsive to their employees requests, etc. The politics/tiers of leadership in Best Buy are thick and never-ending. A lot of bureaucracy. They don't do a lot of recognition for their employees and it is hard to stand out from everyone else.

Pros

You gotta love working at best buy because you're around like-minded people. You also have the employee discount which is great for buying the things that you want to buy. Yes I do believe working at best buy is good because of the thigns that are good about it. I couldn't help but notice that it is a good thing to work there, because things are quite good.

Cons

Obviously you won't be making 100 million bajillion dollars every single minute you work there. Oh well, I guess you can't just quite have it all.

Pros

Great employee discount program; Working with a great group;

Cons

Management was very inflexible with schedule changes and availability; The customers are by far the most stressing part. While working in Geek Squad you pretty much just get yelled at all day by others.
