Pros

Geek Squad gets tons of free goodies and flexible hours. There are a ton of helpful coworkers and leadership within the company. If you are looking to move out of state or relocate, BBY makes it very easy to do so. Additionally, moving within departments isn't too challenging and many employees can eventually break into corporate if they peform well in their various positions. There are O/S, part-time, and full-time positions. Geek Squad will normally hire from within so if interested, get involved in the store's PC Home Office department first. Know your hardware, software, and networking!

Cons

BBY politics and Learning Center.

Pros

The culture of the company, work relationships formed over time, the career advancement potential (sometimes), variety of work rolls available in the field. Best in the consumer electronics field, especially compared to the train wreck that is Circuit City right now. The Local leadership and management teams.

Cons

Life Balance is always an ongoing challenge, constant re-orgs over the years that have resulted in major uncertainty for the future and many people in positions they don't understand, especially at the corporate office. This has also resulted in a very difficult environment to navigate when getting business support or answers to questions.
