Pros

Managers care about both the customer and the employees in a genuine way. There are plenty of opportunities to switch into different departments or even stores if you don't the part of Best Buy you get assigned to. Also, there are plenty of experts, particularly in the computer and geek squad departments, that can really help you learn and grow.

Cons

Since Circuit City has met its doom, Best Buy has become the last shrimp boat left in the lake. Therefore you can expect to work loooong hours and be asked to stay late often as the company begins to deal with the notion of now being the big fish in the small pond.

Pros

If you can find your way into a territory or corporate level job, you'll find yourself exceptionally satasfied. If you work in a store, it's definitely a paycheck.

Cons

Management at the store and district level are unprepared and unwilling to make profitable business decisions and their performance results showed for it. The willingness to respect regular sales staff shows in the ebb and flow of the store. Every co-worker of mine felt like a "walking zombie" when at work because of the lack or morale.
