Pros

GREAT energy! Best Buy is good if you are happy to maintain status quo and peak at middle management. People are generally happy at the corporate office and I felt very supported as a mom. I like being in the office and have made great friends there.

Cons

Does not assist with career advancement (they call it "self-led" which means you need to network, network, network which makes it feel like my advancement is based on who I know vs how hard I work which is hard for an introvert) - Bottleneck at the top creates a barrier to career advancement - Siloed teams makes it challenging to accomplish - Impossible to get fired leading to incompetent management

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.
