Pros

Easy to move up in the company if you are a good communicator and willing to do multiple tasks and learn about different types of technology to sale. It is a constantly changing company so be prepared to learn a lot of acronyms and business plans. They have tuition reimbursement for full timers, a great discount, and good health benefits including 401k and stock options. It depends on the store you work for, but the people are usually pretty cool I would talk to the staff before working at a particular store because you were pretty closely with them especially your managers.

Cons

The company is very innovative and constantly changing which is usually a good thing, but it's not if your in leadership they often change how many supervisors and seniors they have in each department. So if you are not a manager you can easily get demoted but your pay should stay the same. The other thing is that they have no tolerance for being late or call outs all you get is 3 in a 90 day time or you get fired. No one other than your wife and kids can use your discount or you will get fired, they track all your purchases.

Pros

For the most part Best Buy is a great place to work. They are very flexible with hours and dont give you much trouble when you need some time off. The pay is above average if you can prove yourself within the first years review. Also if the store does well employees are rewarded with employee profit sharing. Most employees are usually nice to each other but can be rude to customers. The work environment is very good but if you are the one to go above and beyond others just watch and do not do their job. Again overall I think that it is a good place to work it just may take some time to get where you want to be in the company.

Cons

When you try to go above and beyond, many times managers do not see what you have done.
