Pros

In 14 years I had many good times... *In Store advancement was good *Scheduling usually allowed plenty of time for fun *Anyone who ever was in or on a Project Team usually LOVED it. Best Job I have ever had, including NOW

Cons

IT is Retail... Corporate world was the worst experience I have ever had. HR is non-existant except if your manager is trying to get rid of you and even then I question it. (I saw a lot of questionable decision including my own in 14 years. The why's and why nots for terminating people in Best Buy are not consistant. Its all about WHO YOU KNOW!) Since Dick and Brad left I question the direction of the company. We were no longer a family, it was just business.
