Pros

The experience looks good on resume. Good discounts, and the people that work there are fun people.I think they do a good job in giving young kids the chance to have a job and discover, and what they are good at. Also when working at Best Buy you learn a lot about team work. You interact with customers of all kinds and you become to have an understanding of how to treat customers and interact with them on all business levels. All in all Best Buy is a good place for short time while going to school type of job.

Cons

Low pay, Long hours, managers take the side of the customer and through you under the buss.

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.
