      Pros

      Great work environment Friendly coworkers Great pay Wonderful Work/Life Balance - The managers here have an understanding that you have a life outside of work. As long as you communicate with them, they'll try to adjust your schedule accordingly.

      Cons

      If you don't meet certain goals, you won't get suitable hours.Sales are Best Buy's main concern. Not employees. If you can't meet goals, they'll just cut your hours and basically replace you. As much as Best Buy denies it, you have to up-sell. Best Buy just rephrases it as helping and enriching the customers lives. You have to tack on so much to every sale otherwise you're going to get a very annoying conversation from the manager on why you didn't add useless item to your sale. None of this is to say that everyone's experience will be the same. I'm not a salesman and I learned that while working here. If you can sell well and you can turn a $50 sale into a $300+ sale without the concern or guilt of upselling then you will be fine. Sales is a focus that the company has and you should have or you won't last long there.
