      Great place to work if you love retail and a good discount.

      Pros

      Flexible hours, good work environment, great discount, everyone is about the same age so you have a chance to build friendships with your fellow employees. Easy communication between the managers and the employees. A lot of team building activities that allow you to interact with all the employees and no just your own section. Good place to work for summer jobs and part time to keep the discount. Advance is pretty quick and as long as you work hard you can move up pretty quick with the company.

      Cons

      Shifts can be odd times during the day, hours can be cut dramatically depending on budget of section.

      Best Buy is a pretty decent place to start out in business.

      Pros

      If you're a fulltime employee, the benefits are fantastic, and there are plenty of opportunities for stock options and bonuses if you're higher up in the leadership heirarchy. The employee discount is good, the pay is much better than most retail places, and overall there is a good sense of teamwork. The company focuses a lot on individual development. Despite some negative press, the overall focus on customer service and satisfaction behind the scenes is extremely high, especially when compared to some other places I've worked in the past. I've always been treated well.

      Cons

      Sometimes stores can be very "clique"ish and people will move up and get promotions based more on how well liked they are versus their actual ability to lead. Sometimes there is a lack of focus on overall improvement of employees and instead management gets misguided and focuses on driving a performance goal instead of fixing the problems that led to the lower number to begin with.

      Good place to work for a retail career.

      Pros

      good structure. solid organization that seems to be someplace that will be around for awhile. employee morale is good in areas of the store as it depends on what manager you report to. it seems that customer service and merchandising associates are constantly changing with limited opportunities for growth. enough managers to be able to go on vacation without stressing.

      Cons

      too big, no ability to know everyone. career opportunities seem limited unless you are friends with those above you as it seems that promotions are already decided prior to interview process. communication is limited as to what plans are for future and personal career growth opportunities.
