Pros

- Employee Discount - Potential to Move Up if you really want to "bleed blue" - Potential good stepping stone to other industries since you can learn a lot about products and use that knowledge elsewhere (Also, selling and customer service skills; Best Buy used to be huge on customer service and expert advice.)

Cons

- Moving up is hard; You will likely feel like you are being left behind as Management tries to further their career and move up the ladder. - There was a lot of being devalued when up for raises and promotions, but they'll praise you and offer you the moon when you decide to leave.

Pros

No pros. Just don’t work here.

Cons

This job adds little to no value, either for customers or for career growth. The primary focus is pushing credit cards and memberships that many customers don’t actually need, making the work feel repetitive and unfulfilling. The workplace culture and management are poor, and employees are often assigned busywork instead of meaningful responsibilities. There is almost no opportunity to develop product knowledge or apply any technical or electronics skills. Even the sales experience is limited since the role revolves around following scripted pitches rather than building genuine sales or customer relationship skills. Overall, it’s not a strong entry-level position for someone looking to develop transferable skills. There are many other jobs that provide better learning opportunities, stronger career growth, and more valuable real-world experience.
