Pros

Pay is above average, its perfect for a high school or college job

Cons

not enough opportunites to move up in a store, if you are located in a low revenue store its very difficult to move up plus management doesn't inform you of what postions that are available.

Pros

The discount is the best part of working at Best Buy. Also, it is a friendly environment with a fun day every day. I work in PCHO part time and it is a great experience to help other people get into technology and find out about their products. Working with electronics is about the best part because I have grown up with them and didn't want to have to fix them every day, but see others enjoy their technology. I don't know of any other job that my friends have where you can play 4 square or kick ball before you start work in the monring!

Cons

Sometimes you have to work really long hours. Not having enough staff can also hurt your sales because people are sometimes impatient. Sometimes, I wish we had more time to train on some of the new products we get in. Pay could also be a bit higher, although compared to some other starter jobs this would be considered good. I wish it were easier to move up in the system as well. You don't see many management shift changes in the company. Also, rank and numbers are sometimes pushed too much on the employees. Otherwise, it is a great place to work.
