Pros

The discount is nice to have. It used to be much better though a couple of years ago. My co-workers at my store turned out to be good friends of mine, but since the store closed it would not be the same.

Cons

Customers get the right to berate and abuse you for defending Best Buy's asinine policies regarding anything. Best Buy makes their employees work long hours with little or no breaks. Managers are dismissive and over work their employees while under training them. This is why most of the staff at Best Buy Stores have very little product or policy knowledge when they are put out onto the sales floor. And let's not forget about that awful uniform.

Pros

Flexible hours, employee perks such as discounted products, offers 401(k) despite being part-time, coworkers who are nice to work with.

Cons

Management is quick to call-out sales that have nothing attached to it (warranties, card applications, memberships, or accessories). There is a rodent problem that has not been addressed for nearly a year; food and beverages cannot be sold at this store.
