Pros

Discount on merchandise, cost plus 10%, however cost is really not cost. Going over the daily Budget - allowing there sales people in on the macro view of the organization. Blue shirts - jking

Cons

Ideology and corporate culture they impose on there staff. Selling overpriced products to ignorant consumers such as Monster Cable - 100% Contribution margin on there products. Selling the Product Service Plan (AKA "Juice" as in "did you get juice on the sale"), Best Buys extended warranty, and trying to meet the goasl of selling the PSP and Monster cables. Poor pay for a department that brings in a majority of the overall sales. Baby Blue Shirts

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.
