Customers forget that sales associates are people and can treat you poorly. Meetings are to early.

Pros

The people are awesome, the discount is great, and the hours are flexible. Managers foster a fun and productive work environment. As a high school and college student, managers understood my sometimes complex scheduling needs and were able to accommodate.

Cons

Downtime can be either very slow and boring or filled with tedious busy work. Although you don't receive commission, there is alot of pressure from management to sell. Managers sometimes "interrogate" you about interactions which can be annoying.

Pros

Culture, Leader in the industry, Best Buy is expanding into Europe, China, Lain America, etc., ROWE (Results Oriented Work Environment), Amenities, Compensation, great long term place to work.

Cons

The stores have ultimate power. When working at the Headquarters (dubbed the Retail Support Center) you are constantly being challenged by the Retail Leadership. This is much different from Target which rule their stores with an iron fist. The collaboration is a good thing ultimately for the customers, but it sometimes feels as if you're reworking.
