Pros

Its a great way to make a lot of important contacts, especially dealing with business customers, and of course there are perks and incentives like discounts and other accommodations. In many cases as well there are some very passionate people working there and they can be some good friends as well.

Cons

Some cases there is some unfairness as far as how promotions and raises are handled, but thats more or less a thing with individual managers not wanting too much change, one of the things that bugs me the most is that if you are too good in one area they wont let you try to get good and move to another area because they have to rely too much on you in that first area, it hurts especially when on that track there is little room to move on up the ladder.

Pros

The employee discount is very nice, many items are discounted quite a bit. Plus you can use it at any Best Buy across the country. The co-workers are friendly. Best Buy pays for training and certifications depending on which department you are in.

Cons

Even the small stores have too many managers, usually 5 or 6. The managers don't sell anything, even if they're right next to a customer they'll call an associate over the radio to come help the customer instead of trying to help. The managers constantly keeping close watch, almost like they're waiting for you to mess up.
