Decent pay but not worth what comes with it

Pros

Good discount, decent pay, plenty of opportunity to learn, chance to win prizes through learning, potential for bonuses.

Cons

It is impossible to get promoted unless you have someone willing to invest in you. In my case, my immediate supervisor(s) saw me as a threat because I knew more than they did and I was consistently one of the best sales people in the store. I was literally told that a supervisor position that was opened needed to be filled by someone who was already a supervisor, because they did not want to take the time to train a new person. They will schedule you as early as 6am, as late as midnight, and there is NO stability in the schedule so they make it almost impossible to get a second job.

Pros

Saved gas, no commute, paid training, Not much else to say as far as pros, Even if you are computer savy, you will still be confused on some of the policies and also how to navigate in 6 different systems, plus learning pages and pages of company issues. They use IE and Java which is not compatible so expect a lot of system issues.

Cons

To be a work at home agent for Best Buy you have to buy an office phone with a mute button $45.00 headset $25.00. You also need a hardwired land line and it cost me $80.00 plus $20.00 a month just for a dial tone, high speed internet $60.00. Training is only 1 wk to learn 6 systems and it is not fun at all, our trainer was distraced most of the time and very scattered with the subjects. I started 3 wks ago and still no pay.
