Pros

fun people, alright benefits. 401k is great compared to similar jobs. 3 weeks time off a year. employee discount is amazing and easily the best benefit for working at best buy. It can be a nice place to work depending on what you like to do for a living and or for fun. Expect to work your butt off during the holidays

Cons

silly hours, some employees are useless and impossible to get them fired or moved to other positions.

Pros

Very flexible and family friendly. Your Best Buy career is definitely what you make of it and the company is great at allowing employees to pursue their passions.

Cons

Best Buy is very good at giving people positive feedback, but not very good at negative feedback. Often, people who are not qualified will be allowed to apply for jobs multiple times simply to be passed over for other candidates (and rightly so). Most employees are very talented, but sometimes under-performers are allowed to stay too long.

Pros

Discount is great and coworkers are friendly.

Cons

A lot expected of associates VERY quickly. This is not a retail position. It is a non-commissioned sales position that is tracked throughout your shift.
