Pros

As a college student it wasn't a bad job. I could get time off when I really needed it and the pay was OK. The best part of working for Best Buy is the discount and accommodations.

Cons

The focus of Geek Squad is moving in the wrong direction. At the time I was there the focus was not to find qualified people but people competent enough to utilize one of the many ways they outsource computer repairs. The focus need to change toward servicing customer from within the store and hire people at a decent wage who know something.

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.
