Pros

The team synergy at Best Buy is second to none. The core management group has always focused on team wins and contributions. Many life long friends have come from co-workers at Best Buy. The strategies of top leaders have evolved over the years to put the highest regard to the employees that are closest to the end user, the customer. All efforts from a support standpoint have been geared to support this philosophy. The last few years have truly been dedicated to segmenting the different customers that shop at Best Buy and finding the best way possible to meet each and everyone of their individual needs. Being an employee at Best Buy has always been very rewarding in all aspects.

Cons

The pace at times can be so fast that it is difficult to assess how you are doing.

Pros

I like the environment and the discounts.

Cons

Long hours. Also when I apply for management, get passed over for someone "more qualified". We get 2 more people new in our dept. So now I have to train 2 newbies to BBY. As well as a MANAGER, thats new to BBY. So how is this more qualified then I?!

Pros

I've worked with best buy for over two years now. I enjoy every single one of my employees, especially those who work very close to me in my department. Although there is sometimes high school drama, I've made some good friends there. A lot of the people have been there for over a year, and at my store, the turnover rate is very low. There are opportunities to move up and work at corporate.

Cons

The management is incompetent at times. They treat us like we're 15 and think that it's our career. I guess it should be understood that it's their career though. The managers NEVER help out, and never work on the floor and love to huddle and cry if they have to help. There is a lot of favoritism. In order to succeed you must transfer far away to move up.
