Pros

Get to practice and extend your knowledge about IT related topics, Often get to meet and work with interesting and fun people

Cons

Downsides are like any other customer oriented facing jobs. You will get the occasional Karen who won't take no for an answer even if there is actually nothing you can do to remedy the situation. Skeleton crew can become somewhat chronic

Pros

Employee discount on small items. Assistant Managers are great and want to help!! Managers are great people who care,

Cons

They thrive off of DEI hires. Which unfortunately hurts productivity as they will get favorable treatment in scheduling. Understaffing issues (not getting current employees to show up for scheduled shifts) if you love being schedule 4 hr shifts and then working extra to cover the people who didnt show up BBY is your ideal place. Also you will be told you are a fulltime hire and then be schedule 20 hours for the week. I feel like the store managers have their hands tied by an out of touch Corporate boss.

Pros

I enjoyed working with my coworkers

Cons

I don't feel comfortable selling credit cards forcibly and constantly pitching to people who don't want to hear it in the first place.
