Pros

Large, growing company that pays attention to its competitiona nd activly trys to change before it is required just to survive. Company has new opportunities and a good overall culture.

Cons

Some areas are highly insular, secretive. At times, the left hand does not know what the right hand is doing, and at times, that a right hand even exists. Best Buy is trying and seems to be making headway, but these areas need to be priority.

Pros

Working in the Geek Squad is enjoyable because of the people I work with, and the knowledge I gain working on computers and such. The discount is a great attribute of working there. Even part-timers like myself, can indulge in a 401k that Best Buy will match, as well as a stock purchasing plan. For high-school students looking to go to the local community college, Best Buy will pay for it.

Cons

Customers as usual are terrible. Some are great, but working at the Geek Squad people usually come in already frustrated and just want things to go their way. Management can be very screwed up. People who really deserve promotions will either never get them or get them extremely late. It is all about favorites in the retail enviroment. You have to be very well liked by the managers and that is all to get a promotion.
