Pros

The employee discount is the only perk - but rumor has it they are looking to slowly pull back on that benefit.

Cons

If you're looking for a dead end job, no work life balance, and disrespect for you as a person - you've come to the right place. If you've made the mistake of signing up, then run while you still have the chance.

Pros

The benefits of working at Best Buy are great, the employee discounts are awesome, schedule flexibility is decent, but it depends on the immediate supervisor unfortunately.

Cons

The fact that favoritism has alot to do with promoting is and always will be a huge growth killer for any company in my opinion. The right people who are qualified dont get promoted and usually dont last with the company. Corporate only sees numbers when it comes to promoting and fails to see the real efforts of the underdogs within a given location which, again, results in undeserved promoting.

Pros

The employee discount is great and they are really good about working with your schedule. I went to school at the same time and never had a problem.

Cons

I never liked wearing the uniform that is required of all employees. Other than that, I don't have many complaints.
