Pros

As a new division of Best Buy Stores, BBY mobile has been a great asset to the company. I have been a Best Buy employee since 2001 and must say I enjoy my job more now then I did years ago, because of the training available, the new sales approach and availability of information to help consumers.

Cons

Upper level management doesnt seem concerned about the happiness with employees as long as their employees produce. Even though the job is not a commission based job, they put so much stress on it, you would feel like it was.
