Pros

No matter what, it depends on the store. I got lucky for the most part and they worked around my school schedule, I got plenty or recognition and moved up. I'll be honest and say that I learned more about business at Best Buy than I did at college and I got my 4-year degree in business. It's a great place to observe different levels of positions, how to interact with them and where you fit.

Cons

Gossip is an issue in any store. Try to stay out of it and just get in, do your job, have fun, leave. The last thing you want to do is get caught up in drama that is bound to happen.

They have turned into corporate America. No longer care about their employees like they used to.

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.
