Pros

People take vacations and it is expected that they won't be available (at least for junior level) Reasonable flexibility to move in the directions you want to go over time Excellent severance pay

Cons

I can only speak for my team which was quite disorganized, I was not given much work to do. Getting promoted is difficult, there are limited positions Best Buy is not doing great as a company so bonuses are small and there can be layoffs

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.
