Pros

You learn a LOT about upcoming tech and how to present yourself as a fitting salesmen.

Cons

The pushing of credit cards and quotas to hit daily, creates pressure that is competitive an overwhelming for most. After saying that customers are always right they promote a predatory credit card with benefits that are outweighed by buying more than most could afford; while promising low interest. Their real target is to hope you do NOT make these payments in time and make money off of your suffering. For this reason I refused to take advantage of customers but was told off by my managers for not doing this. A terrible strategy to gaining loyal customers and is one of the main reasons Best Buy is a failing Business.

Pros

Coworkers are nice enough most of the time. The discount is nice. They're pretty flexible with schedules

Cons

Management doesn't know what they're doing. The pay is bad. Most of the employees are young and act as such. Unreasonable goals, and management breathes down your neck. They'll constantly promise "leadership training" and "advancement opportunity" but nothing ever happens. The sales tactics are terrible. They say the care about customers but every action says it's all just about the metrics. They're constantly cutting costs.
