Pros

Easy-going work environment coupled with desire to win makes Best Buy a great place for a younger person or college student to work. The employee discount is amazing and as a general rule lower-level management and supervisors come from within the company, so you're usually being led by somebody who has done what you're doing and knows what limitations are faced in your work environment. In my store, employees really worked together to get the job done, which makes everybody's life significantly easier.

Cons

Little is offered in terms of annual raises or promises of advancement. You kind of have to find a job, get good at it, and hope a position opens up someday that needs somebody in your field.

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.
