Pros

You make your own path in the company. No company is just going to hand you a promotion (except a government job)... too many people want hand outs these days. If you're willing to put in the effort, you'll get rewarded. Most of Best Buy's senior leadership has risen through the ashes of this company. Best Buy isn't the kind of company that goes out and hires some random Columbia grad to run the company. It hires people that understand its culture. The discount is good and if you're fortunate enough to be full time the benefits aren't all that bad either.

Cons

You have to be patient. And well... it's retail. If people aren't buying... you're not working.

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.
