Pros

The sales positions are not commission based Pay is fair Great place to learn how to be an effective salesperson

Cons

Best buy is too strict on it's policies for being able to receive discounts as an employee. They are quick to release you for what they believe is fraud, when it comes to discounts without consulting with the employee or taking the time to properly investigate the situation.

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.
