      Pros

      fun environment and atmosphere, people seem to actually care. Blue crew bonusses when budget is made, games to make work more fun that come with gift cards sometimes. Everyone is connected by headsets so we cam communicate and talk to eachother during the shifts. Also the break room has a large screen tv an x-box couch and snacks. Viewpoint events are also fun we raise money and then celebrate by all going out to eat or having a game night etc.

      Cons

      the blackout period in which you cant request off during the holiday season. I like to see my family on the holidays and this makes it impossible. I also like to have weekends off, because this is retail this is also difficult to accomplish.

      Pros

      Fun people to work with. Learning about the latest technology. Not having to worry about what i'm going to wear. Friendly atmosphere. Busy on the weekends so time goes by faster. Employee discounts because I save soooo much money on accessories, like cables, memory cards, cases, car audio, just about everything. Health benefits and 401k. The hours aren't that bad (not opened too early and not closed too late). Meeting interesting people that live in the area and making new friends. Being able to climb up the ladder and getting promoted easily then at other places. Everyone is treated equally.

      Cons

      Annoying cheap customers. Not getting paid enough for the work I do. Not always having the materials I need when I need them.

      Best Buy - Good starting point for a sales oriented person

      Pros

      Good retail experience for a young person. It is a nice job to have while attending a University or a college. If you like working around people it's a great place to start. Also if you don't like high pressure sales jobs then this is right up your alley.

      Cons

      No commission even though you are pushed to sell as if there was. The schedules in retail are terrible and this job was no different. Every week you have a different schedule and you tend to work busier days (fri, sat, sun) kiss your weekends goodbye.
