Pros

the discount is pretty good, good place to work in high school/college, really flexible if you need time off for vacation or school ..employees are nice can meet some friends.

Cons

they hired me and about 7 other people in my dept (portable electronics) for seasonal....we all made the same......after the seasons over we dont get a 90 day raise but they give the new people a better starting salary (30 cents) when were the ones that trained them... when I was hired I basically worked for one day and came into the next one and got sent home after working an hour. I didnt work until another 25 days ..they called it a "labor cut"...I basically have to beg for hours but they wouldnt give it to me until the "labor cut" was over For me I was trained in the begining for like 20 minutes and they told me to walk around on my own. I basically got more knowledge about products/ services by dealing with customer complaints I live in a great area but best buy attracts some real wackers. They will rearrange your schedule without telling you. sometimes ( print out your schedule as soon as it comes out and if they changed it you have proof and show it to your store manager.)

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.
