Pros

Fun working environment & friendly, encouraging, helpful co-workers. Nice opportunity to practice different sales techniques being that Best Buy is non-commissioned sales.

Cons

Low hours offered for seasonal & I was written up for calling into work to take my 8 month old son to the ER for a head injury, when they do mention in the initial interview about flexible scheduling.

Pros

Great company to work for, discount is worth it and extra benefits are good. Full time is worth it for the PTO and tuition assistance.

Cons

Poor motivation to give raises but eager to pile on more responsibility without compensation. Higher up you go the more slack that is expected to be picked up.
