Pros

I've worked with best buy for over two years now. I enjoy every single one of my employees, especially those who work very close to me in my department. Although there is sometimes high school drama, I've made some good friends there. A lot of the people have been there for over a year, and at my store, the turnover rate is very low. There are opportunities to move up and work at corporate.

Cons

The management is incompetent at times. They treat us like we're 15 and think that it's our career. I guess it should be understood that it's their career though. The managers NEVER help out, and never work on the floor and love to huddle and cry if they have to help. There is a lot of favoritism. In order to succeed you must transfer far away to move up.

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.
