      Pros

      If you love consumer electronics / technology and love to share your knowledge and experience with others, Best Buy is a great opportunity.

      Cons

      When hiring they focused on sales rather than candidates technical skills... especially in the Geek Squad. The store management is all over the board and communication usually leaves something to be desired. I regularly find the departments understaffed... This particular store is new and it's been difficult considering the economic times we are in. We are in an affluent area (small suburbs) so it's not the volume of sales, it's how much each sale is and I don't think the management has figured out how to organize and train the team to work properly in this situation.

      Pros

      It is a great place to work and has been fun. The benefits are great, and there is plenty of career growth opportunity. The people I work with have all been wonderful, and management is more than willing to help their employees advance as far as they want to.

      Cons

      Since Best Buy is a retail store, you have to deal with retail hours, which are not always the best for family life. In addition, time off always needs to be requested far in advance if you really want the time off. It is hard to get time off for last minute things that come up.
