Pros

Employee Discount was really nice because it was what made working there worth it. If I didn't have the employee discount I would have never applied for the job.

Cons

CoWorkers: Unfortunately, there are alot of rough people who end up working along side you at work. They have no long term goals in life, and all they care about is the latest movie release or game release. In my case I was a student, and I was there strictly for compensation and discount, and I did not want to be these people's friends. Let's face it they were losers. If you can find a store with clean cut upbeat people than you are lucky. There are great stores at Best Buy, but some store's cultures are rough. It all starts with the GM and the attention to detail when hiring employees.

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.
