Pros

The fun work environment, the open sales floor structure, it's all fun. They make you feel genuinely excited to come to work every day.

Cons

Unfortunately, with the way things have been going lately, bestbuy is not what it used to be. I feel, daily, as though I'm being set up to fail and then punished for failing. The goals can be impossible, the pay isn't equal to the labor, and theres no commission. And on top of it all, if you're any good at your job, bestbuy will consume every part of your life. There will be no work life balance.

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.
