Pros

Discount. Best Buy was a gateway into the tech world for me. It started with computers and eventually home theatre equipment and digital cameras, etc. Schedule Flexibility. With the exception of Black Friday and pre Xmas, I was usually able to get off without explaining too much. Great place for somebody who enjoys technology & people.

Cons

Occasionally, the customers are not the best, but that is to be expected in any retail box. Personally, I couldn't stand the 6 and 7am store meetings. During the holidays, all negatives are amplified exponentially.

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.
