Pros

Great environment if you're into electronics. Best Buy is one of the biggest movers in the electronics retail market. The work environment varies from store to store, but customer service is key (at least at my store).

Cons

Some problems with consistency of goals and other company policies, but this is mainly on a store level. As of now, I would not say the majority of the problems I have are directly related to any major policy at best buy, more so I would call into account the attitudes of the management of the store. I suppose this could be expected, but those who engage in amicable activities with managers outside of work tend to get the most favor.

Pros

Great General Manager, that’s about it.

Cons

All of the leadership besides the GM were unprofessional. They couldn’t help it but most were incompetent.

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.
