Pros

Best Buy tends to be a strong network of friends and aquaintances. They are a very innovative company, always coming up with ways to improve business and the customer/employee experience. It is a pretty laid back atmosphere with a great discount, good benefits and pretty decent pay. Also they are fairly flexible with availability, and will work well around other jobs, school, or other personal events.

Cons

There is definitely a significant amount of favoritism at Best Buy. Promotions happen due to job performance, but also definitely due to popularity within the management team. Leadership also seems to not take employee's development very seriously, at least not in my store. Lastly, management tends to be inconsistent in decision making, which often is against company policy.

Pros

-employee discount and benefits. Best in retail that i have seen. -employee pay was above the norm

Cons

-communication. many managers were not in sync with one another and each manager (4 in total) were giving different messages. -not enough support from the managers. Training was all done by the employee, on a computer. managers never really trained, just said do this or do that. The environment called for this type of training because the managers never found time to train.
