      Pros

      Through it's talent management and leadership development platforms, the company does a good job at helping employees connect with what is truely their core strengths, talents and passions. Even though we have day to day work, the chance to get involved and add value to critical strategies that drive our growth is all around you. For those who are entrepreuers and like the freedom to seek out compelling work activities, it is a great place to work. For those who want clear direction and step by step process to do their work, it is not for you.

      Cons

      Best Buy is a very politically charged environment. I am sure that the freedom to express opinions and the desire to have everyone involved creates this environment.

      Pros

      There is an energy level at Best Buy that I've never experienced before. This place moves fast. Real fast. If you like a fast-paced, frenetic company, Best Buy is for you. It's also an unparalled leader in its space and has the capacity to define the CE world. Working at Best Buy matters. Brad Anderson (CEO) and Brian Dunn (President) are respectable guys who truly care about employees. Some of the director and VP-level leadership is suspect, but the people at the top know what they are doing and have good hearts. Oh, and the employee discount rocks.

      Cons

      Retail. director and VP-level leadership is suspect. The joke within Best Buy is that we have a 10-year-stategy and a 10-week patience. Be prepared to deal with change and if you don't like change, don't work here.

      Pros

      Best Buy supports its employees and provides many opportunities for them to advance their career. Most don’t take advantage of these opportunities. With hard work, career success can be achieved. Innovate ideas will get the support they require if an employee has the passion to drive them and show how they benefit the company and customers. The best reason to work for Best Buy is its unique culture. The company truly lives its values and core philosophies. If they do not resonate with you, don’t apply to work there. Best Buy also has a very relaxed and casual atmosphere which fosters collaboration.

      Cons

      Like with most companies, ideas and successes can get stolen. Employees need to protect their work and ideas from credit thieves. I have heard working in the field is tough. I don’t think the corporate headquarters does a very good job of communicating its reasoning behinds its actions to the field. Likewise, I don’t think the field sees the bigger picture. I’ve heard sale reps positions in stores don’t pay much but are higher than the industry average. Well, I guess that’s a start. I think field employees should get paid more. They have to deal with the public everyday. That is challenging.
