Pros
For me, Finding a stable job in the state of our society and economy is rough, especially without some type of college education AND trying to make it on your own. I had three interviews with Best Buy for a new store opening, and was hired on my second interview. They have provided me with Full-Time Status and a decent starting salary AND benefits. My co-workers are amazing and every day I leave my job feeling better than I did when I went to it. Management is really great about recognizing your hard work, and if there is something you would like to improve on they are at your side helping you out. Alot of my co-workers started out at Best Buy knowing nothing about the department they were hired for, and over the weeks and months of training have developed so much knowledge not only about they specific products we offer, but also about people and how each person is looking for a specific type of experience. The values that Best Buy instills on their employees are values you can use in your personal life to help you see the glass half-full when your having a half-empty kind of day. And also, everything Best Buy can teach you will not only help you move up quickly in the company if you work hard, but also if you decide to move onto different projects or careers. I love my job, my co-workers, and I especially love knowing that even if my customer doesn't leave buying something-they have learned a little bit more about a product then they wouldn't have otherwise known.
Cons
In some departments, morning shifts can start as early as 6am, and other departments end as late as Midnight. But depending on what type of "person" you are, Best Buy is pretty flexible about scheduling you during the morning or evening if you prefer. For instance, I have recently been scheduled mostly morning shifts when I am definately NOT a morning person, and working in the morning affects my performance in my Job. Management almost immediately (within a few days of working mornings) recognized the deterioration of my performance in the mornings, and without condemning me for not working hard enough-talked to me about it and immediately switched me to all evening shifts- with of course, the occasional coverage of mornings.
