Pros

Discount is good. Pay is competitive. Generally coworkers are great. Many locations to work at, especially convenient if you are wanting to move to a different city or location. Good assortment of accommodation programs from vendors as well, Intel, Samsung, Apple, Sony, many others all provide deals to Best Buy associates.

Cons

Politics. You MUST kiss rear to go anywhere. Results do not mean anything. Hypocrisy. At all the stores I've been to, management at a store and district level (and as far I know, territory and above) do not subscribe to their own company values. They hire externally and pay MUCH more to external candidates than to more qualified and trained internal candidates for positions.

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.
