Pros

Great Benefits, Good work relationships, something you enjoy and getting paid for it! If you enjoy being able to work with others and sell things that you enjoy than this is the place for you. It is a fun place to be. The benefits are great. You have the employee stock purchase plan which enables you to buy BBY stock at a 15$ discount once every 6 months. You also have 401(k) that can be matched up to 5 percent. This is for part timers too! Full timers do get health benefits and paid holidays which can be a very nice thing.

Cons

Most raises and promotions are based solely on how much you suck up to management. I'm not bitter. I'm just being honest.

Pros

-It's a job that is available in most locations.

Cons

-The company, on a corporate level, doesn't seem to grasp the value of the talent they have. - Close ties with Citibank subvert the importance of product knowledge, customer service, and revenue for credit card sales. - Daily Performance check-ins are overbearing and myopic. - Tends to burnout motivated employees with false carrots and hollow promises. - Pay's terrible, and rides the line of predatory at times.
