      Pros

      They offer great discounts on merchandise. Overall it is a solid company.

      Cons

      Can be very boring. There are only so many things you can learn about products and selling them.

      Great retail job. On the other hand, a retail job.

      Pros

      Management focuses on building a strong team and connecting the employees to a common goal, which is what every company should be doing. In a retail field, most of the staffing is unmotivated 18-24 year-olds who are working retail for a reason. Realizing this, Best Buy has tooled their methods for getting them working together, knowledgeable by creating a cooperative but competitive training environment, and setting up their staffing correctly.

      Cons

      It's retail, so you get all the problems found at every retail store. It's also big business, so you get situations where you can tell Best Buy is going after every dollar it can, and as a non-commissioned sales rep you usually don't feel great about selling the customer on it. Most of the time it's pretty good, but it's not perfect.

      Decent place to work, and for most people its better than 99% percent of the jobs they've had before.

      Pros

      Better than average pay, there is always someone to go to when you don't know the answer to a problem. Everyone is generally nice. Work environment is clean. Beats the hell out of fast food. If you happen to not have a college degree this is a place where you can move up, whether you start in sales or services. Also if you didnt have the chance to go to college provides an excellent tuition reimbursement program, $3500 for undergrad $5500 for grad school.

      Cons

      It's retail. For geeksquad CIA's, customers are usually incompetent. If you don't feel like dealing with people work in stocking or as an autotech and generally you can get away without interacting with too many people. Also for CIA's I would recommend working in a standalone geeksquad store as apposed to the precincts within bestbuy.
