Pros

Some good coworkers, fast paced, good practice with sales experience.

Cons

Grossly underpaid. All store employees are constantly working really hard and never given time to rest or recuperate since sales are nonstop. Customers can be very challenging. During my time there was an especially huge emphasis on selling Best Buy Protection Plans and Geek Squad Setups. Some people may benefit but the average person would not. Either way, it's not like sales advisors see any of that money anyway. Minimum wage or a few cents above it plus no commission. A lot of expectations for barely any compensation. Weird since Best Buy is raking it in... that's just my experience anyway.

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.
