Pros

Benefits, benefits, benefits!! Employee discount of 5% above cost on most items! Employee Accomodations supplied by Vendors for even greater deals! Company philosophies and values make it a fantastic place to work!

Cons

My GM doesn't believe in fairness, is prejudiced, throws whomever it takes under the bus to save his butt, and considers work as talking on his cell phone, taking "conference calls", and playing on his laptop most of the day, everyday.

Pros

The discount is amazing. The price of goods that an employee pays is 5% more than what Best Buy purchased it for. These leaves for some HUGE discounts in products related to car stereo, televisions, and computer accessories. Anything that Best Buy makes alot of money off of basically.

Cons

For the majority, it's a dead end job. A lot of part timers and students work at this store so employee bonds are quickly made and broken. I also felt that sometimes it was some of the "loudest" not neccessarily most qualified workers that would get promoted to management position. It's all really dependent on who your store managers are really.
