Pros

The greatest perk of working at best buy is that you will be recognized if you do your job well. Many people work hard but receive little recognition for it in other companies. Best buy will assess you DAILY on how well you are doing.

Cons

BE WARNED: don't work here if you know for a fact that you don't work hard. Management told me that "the way you get hours here is to be productive". There is a lot of pressure on you to perform well.

Pros

If you have the right boss, best buy is an amazing place to work. Great benefits, great atmosphere. I have been there for over ten years, and have only thought of leaving the company once. Not being in commission has always been a strong point for best buy, and the bonus structure helps. Sales goals obviously exist, but you don't feel in jeopardy of losing your job if you don't hit every now and then.

Cons

If you don't have the right boss, things can be difficult. I've worked for managers who would do anything to win, including cheating, and been performance managed to the point of almost termination for not complying. Some district staff are out of touch and unrealistic.
