Pros

Autonomy, you don't have to unload trucks, air-conditioned environment, shifts are usually pretty short, products are kind of interesting to work with

Cons

The workload is totally unrealistic for the amount of time you're scheduled for. I worked at Best Buy for less than two months, but I was scheduled every Sunday because the guy who started at the same time I did quit after working on his own for one day. I heard the girl who worked there before us was under so much pressure from the Best Buy general manager that she was crying. A typical Sunday is getting to the store at 5 a.m., printing off hundreds of price tags, and then pulling the old tags and placing new ones using a planogram. Then you have to rearrange the movies and CD's to match the tags. On top of this, there are a lot of other tasks that must be done, such as filling out logs, changing prices on individual items, setting up and stocking other displays, changing signage, pulling merchandise to send back, straightening up the shelves and keeping things clean. You're expected to do all this in five hours or less, even if you're new, sleep-deprived, and totally stressed out. The company makes you use a handheld computer to take "surveys" asking if you completed everything, and you have to take pictures to prove it. Even the people who trained me said to falsify answers because there literally is not enough time. I'm a hard worker, and I moved as fast as my hands would go and only took breaks to go to the bathroom, but could not do it. The Best Buy people are supposed to take over and complete what you can't get to, but they don't do anything to help.

Pros

Absolutely nonexistent. The district managers saw my last review and cut my hours from full time to 15 hours or less per week.

Cons

District Manager manipulates the instore activity reports to make her team look fabulous. This means the work did not get completed correctly and the next employee to service the store will be buried in extra work because DM is a cheater.
