Pros

I did whatever I wanted. Watching shows on my phone, eating on the job, playing around, having fun that doesn’t involve work.

Cons

Best Buy is a scam. I know this because they make me scam people too. They force you to apply for a credit card which is a hard hit, and say no it soft or won’t make an impact. They sell you a $180 membership claiming it’s warranty but they don’t tell the customer it is a yearly contract. And if a customer cancels it, every item they have warranty on cancels along with it. And the $50 paid membership is stupid all for a 60 day return policy. Growth is based on favoritism, not by performance. They have high goals so they tell you to do whatever it takes. They have no morals. This list could go on, I could write a whole book about the horrors of Best Buy.

Pros

No Need to sell or deal with customers (Much) Constantly moving so you always have a task to do Management leaves you to your own devices Almost all warehouse employees have a set of headphone

Cons

Everyone (Cust & employees) Expect an encyclopedic knowledge on where every single item is. Management seems to think we can lift a 85" tv, pull a washer off the top shelf, stock gaming shelves, and handle store pick up at the same moment. Customers think we don't want to help them when we call someone else to help with sales There's almost too much to do and even though we may have 1-3 employees working at a time, 1 is at the door, 1 is behind store pick up, which leaves 1 employee to handle new orders, deliveries, and down stocking.
