Pros

The job is fun. I enjoy working with and around my coworkers, they're all fun people who are easy to get along with. The managers are usually pretty cool people too. Plus theres a ton of opportunity to grow and learn in your position. Probably one of the best parts of working at Best Buy is being able to see and play with all the new technology before everyone else! The pay scale is great too, especially for entry level positions. Perhaps the best reason to work at Best Buy is the available accomodations and employee pricing, which are definitely worth working for.

Cons

There aren't too many downsides of working at Best Buy. I personally would like more feedback from the managers and others above me about my performance. Getting time off can sometimes be difficult, depending on when you want it and how close it is. You definitely have to know if you want the time off waaay ahead of time. The thing I dislike the most is the lack of communication. There is almost no communication between the managers about anything but the daily goals and numbers, which can sometimes make it hard for me to do my job properly. Inter-department communication could also be improved.

Pros

Learn a lot on the job. Great place to entry level in tech. Geek squad has a lot of independence from the store when I was there.

Cons

Proper scheduling. If people call out they do not try to fill role they simply expect you to do more. Rotating schedule, Your on and off days will change week to week.

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.
