Pros

It is like a family. Sometimes this is a good thing and other times it is a bad thing. It did remind me of High School a little since rumors and stories spread around the store in 2 seconds. Best Buy was a good place for me during High School and in College but now that I am looking to start a family... not so much. The hours as a manager are long and they are all over the place. In most cases you work 10-12 hour shifts 5 - 6 days a week and then your GM works maybe 4.

Cons

Hours are very long and it is really hard to get rid of someone that doesn't do their job.

Pros

Fun environment and good philosophy

Cons

It's a boys club, so the female has to fight to fit in at all levels within the organization.

Pros

Competitive pay, great discounts / benefits. Good room for advancement. Most manager started as part time CD and DVD stockers or cashiers. Room for growth within and outside of your department. They also do surveys of the employees about things such as satisfaction with benefits, and what they can do to change them for the better.

Cons

They do not hire full-time employees, you have to start as part-time. A little lacking on training in a few key departments. Managers following up with supervisors leaves a little to be desired. It seems like there is very little communication between supervisors and the management staff unless something is going very wrong.
