Pros

Fun employees and the discount. I have some of the best times (and worst) while working at Best Buy. I have made several friends and formed many relationships with the employees in my store.

Cons

Not flexible with scheduling. No incentives to work harder (non-managment level employees.) Zero support from other departments within the store. There is a high expectation of Geek Squad agents and we receive no support from anyone else. They expect us to answer phones, yield other departments questions, work the front counter, sell on the sales floor, setup new PC's and somehow fix old PC's for our existing customers...all with a staff of 2-3 employees per shift.

Pros

Flexible hours, employee perks such as discounted products, offers 401(k) despite being part-time, coworkers who are nice to work with.

Cons

Management is quick to call-out sales that have nothing attached to it (warranties, card applications, memberships, or accessories). There is a rodent problem that has not been addressed for nearly a year; food and beverages cannot be sold at this store.
