Pros

The employee discount is very nice, many items are discounted quite a bit. Plus you can use it at any Best Buy across the country. The co-workers are friendly. Best Buy pays for training and certifications depending on which department you are in.

Cons

Even the small stores have too many managers, usually 5 or 6. The managers don't sell anything, even if they're right next to a customer they'll call an associate over the radio to come help the customer instead of trying to help. The managers constantly keeping close watch, almost like they're waiting for you to mess up.

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.
