Pros

The only pro was the work itself. I love sales but that was it.

Cons

Management. The worst managed company I have ever seen. My second day began with a manager asking me about my breasts, that manager was later promoted to assistant general manager. This is the same guy who smoked on the sales floor, took underage workers out drinking and left them there with the bar tab on a training seminar for the company. It took me, a brand new employee, contacting hr a ridiculous amount of times for this idiot to even be reviewed. And the number they post in the break room and the one in the new hire pamphlet is not the correct he number. That was fun. The benefits are terrible. I'm not even going to dive further into that. My GM, one of the AGMs, the mobile department supervisor and the only other 3 full time mobile employees all quit within my first two weeks. The department was in shambles. I took over the mess as an hourly and never received any sort of thank you and of course no raise. I ran the iPhone 6 launch and Black Friday. Still nothing. The supervisor I spent only two months with was worthless. I did his job as well as more than met my quota. I was averaging 65+ hours a week. And that leads up to the end of my time there. I have now been waiting two pay cycles to recieve my final check including the bonus from 3 months ago and my PTO pay out. Best buy is corrupt and going under. Don't jump on that wagon.

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.
