Pros

Great environment if you're into electronics. Best Buy is one of the biggest movers in the electronics retail market. The work environment varies from store to store, but customer service is key (at least at my store).

Cons

Some problems with consistency of goals and other company policies, but this is mainly on a store level. As of now, I would not say the majority of the problems I have are directly related to any major policy at best buy, more so I would call into account the attitudes of the management of the store. I suppose this could be expected, but those who engage in amicable activities with managers outside of work tend to get the most favor.

Pros

-It's a job that is available in most locations.

Cons

-The company, on a corporate level, doesn't seem to grasp the value of the talent they have. - Close ties with Citibank subvert the importance of product knowledge, customer service, and revenue for credit card sales. - Daily Performance check-ins are overbearing and myopic. - Tends to burnout motivated employees with false carrots and hollow promises. - Pay's terrible, and rides the line of predatory at times.
