Pros

The discounts on certain items and the opportunity to learn about new technology. Great co-workers and managers that actually care (some of them).

Cons

As soon as you get used to a policy or procedure it changes. Best Buy would be a better place to work if the "rules" weren't constantly changing. Additionally, the pressure to sell service plans can be stressfull.

Pros

No pros. Just don’t work here.

Cons

This job adds little to no value, either for customers or for career growth. The primary focus is pushing credit cards and memberships that many customers don’t actually need, making the work feel repetitive and unfulfilling. The workplace culture and management are poor, and employees are often assigned busywork instead of meaningful responsibilities. There is almost no opportunity to develop product knowledge or apply any technical or electronics skills. Even the sales experience is limited since the role revolves around following scripted pitches rather than building genuine sales or customer relationship skills. Overall, it’s not a strong entry-level position for someone looking to develop transferable skills. There are many other jobs that provide better learning opportunities, stronger career growth, and more valuable real-world experience.
