Pros

You get paid to be a geek all day. You get to play with and learn about electronics. Your will get along with your coworkers because they all have the same interests as you.

Cons

The pay is terrible. So are the requirements for you to be available. Good luck finding a 2nd job. You are expected to push expensive HDMI cables even though the cheap ones are just as good

Pros

-Discount on accessories, car audio, and cables is amazing -very good place for socialization

Cons

-not paid or recognized for extra services/plans/warrantees you sold on your own -as the managers get more and more familiar with you they start disrespecting you. -most of the employees there are either mean, snobby, or rude. -too much fraternizing within the work place.

Pros

Some good attributes to working for Best Buy are the flexibility (store dependent as well as time of year). If you're good enough (lucky enough) to get a full time position, the benefits are phenomenal.

Cons

The company does not have opportunity for growth, nor is it something that they try to help with. It is extremely difficult to move up in this company.
