Pros

The best reason for working at Best Buy are the people - those who fight on to do the right thing regardless of the built in obstacles, the innovative products, and the employee discount to buy those products.

Cons

Old backward Future Shop culture dirties and drags down new futuristic Best Buy vision. The efforts of highest senior management are lost in the intrigues of middle managers and a intrusive, manipulative HR group.

Pros

Flexible hours, employee perks such as discounted products, offers 401(k) despite being part-time, coworkers who are nice to work with.

Cons

Management is quick to call-out sales that have nothing attached to it (warranties, card applications, memberships, or accessories). There is a rodent problem that has not been addressed for nearly a year; food and beverages cannot be sold at this store.
