Pros

- Employee Discount - Potential to Move Up if you really want to "bleed blue" - Potential good stepping stone to other industries since you can learn a lot about products and use that knowledge elsewhere (Also, selling and customer service skills; Best Buy used to be huge on customer service and expert advice.)

Cons

- Moving up is hard; You will likely feel like you are being left behind as Management tries to further their career and move up the ladder. - There was a lot of being devalued when up for raises and promotions, but they'll praise you and offer you the moon when you decide to leave.

Pros

Great General Manager, that’s about it.

Cons

All of the leadership besides the GM were unprofessional. They couldn’t help it but most were incompetent.

Pros

No Need to sell or deal with customers (Much) Constantly moving so you always have a task to do Management leaves you to your own devices Almost all warehouse employees have a set of headphone

Cons

Everyone (Cust & employees) Expect an encyclopedic knowledge on where every single item is. Management seems to think we can lift a 85" tv, pull a washer off the top shelf, stock gaming shelves, and handle store pick up at the same moment. Customers think we don't want to help them when we call someone else to help with sales There's almost too much to do and even though we may have 1-3 employees working at a time, 1 is at the door, 1 is behind store pick up, which leaves 1 employee to handle new orders, deliveries, and down stocking.
