Pros

Depending on location and management, district, regional, director, etc. Best buy can be a fun, fast paced environment with virtually unlimited potential for growth. Best buy promotes from within, has a fair training program for core stores and corporate(not so much with best buy mobile). Great salary, huge monthly, quarterly, and annual bonuses(annual can be upwards of 25k). Benefits, emp. Discount, and overall compensation package.

Cons

InI recent years, management, in certain areas of the company, are not being held to the standard that Best Buy is known for. Ex. A GM of a store that has missed budget by over a million dollars in a fiscal year, for numerous years, and is one of the highest paid GM's in the area was not reprimanded or even transferred for over 5 years. He collected a great salary as the employee morale, both managers and line level employees tanked. Working 80+ hours for anyone salaried from sept. Through Jan. Is tough on the body and family.

Pros

The only reason was the discount, but now that is changed. The discount is no longer worth anything on items that used to be cheap for employees.

Cons

Having a supervisor that can't look any of his employees or customers in the eye. All of the drama between co-workers. Made up excuses on why others get transferred over certain employees.
