Pros
Let me preface this by saying it was my first job and worked here for just under a year: - Great management: They care a lot about you as an individual, and if you aren't meeting metrics, they will try to help you rather than scold you for bad performance. - Team Bonding: The store tends to have a day or two a month where either the management or a brand ambassador will bring in food, and the team itself is very intertwined, and everyone knows the entire team by name. - Career Mobility for Management: If you want to work at BBY for a career, go down the management route; while being a consultant can be lucrative, it is volatile and heavily competitive, whereas management gives the most growth opportunity for someone looking to thrive.
Cons
- Favoritism: Some stores are given favoritism, as in any job, and management doesn't do a great job at ensuring that the team is equally splitting the load at times. - Expectation to Know All: After you gain a bit of seniority, you are typically paid less than recruits, have to work ALL departments as a fill-in, and walk across the store all day; it gets exhausting talking about 15 different types of products and getting/loading product for customers.
