Best Buy: retail sales

Pros

Great environment for young college/high school graduate to get credible retail sales experience. Fosters a more ambitious and exciting environment in contrast to other comparable retail positions. Salary compensation is slightly better than other retail positions in some situations.

Cons

Management of labor has its flaws like many other companies. Promotions and salary increases were often calculated through an automated software program to relieve managers from blame for insignificant salary increases.
