Pros

Each store is generally staffed with people of the same mindset, which makes for an energetic culture among the people in the stores. It is a fun, fast-paced environment where employees are constantly surrounded by the latest and greatest gadgets. Excellent training is provided and the company is forward thinking, making it leaps and bounds beyond its competition. Best Buy is one of the highest paying jobs in retail for those willing to give it their all. It will provide a thorough foundation for any future in sales or business. Employees learn a tremendous amount of sales techniques, product knowledge, and business acumen.

Cons

Some bonus structures are not based directly on controllables that reflect job performance. Company has improved focus on work/life balance, but still has work to do. Overall workload is unrealistic, at times.

Pros

For me it's the flexability of scheduling they give me. And the absolute best reason is the outstanding employee discount and employee accommodations offered.

Cons

Retail hours. Enough Said! Also in my past experiences the company tends to hire from outside the company when looking for leadership positions.
