Pros

Getting paid substantially more than everyone who had already been working there 1 year+, chill laid-back environment, people are nice enough

Cons

The management and employees were so disorganized. From the moment I was hired I have had very little to no direction or training. I spent 3 days 4 hours each day watching training videos about how strict the company is and what to do if someone is treating a co-worker inappropriately etc. etc. and when I get onto the sales floor it is nothing like the environment I was expecting from the training videos. Everyone talks crap about everyone, no one would train me or help me, I would clock on and stand in one spot behind the customer service counter until my shift was up. There is no structure in this company. The employees made no effort to get to know me or build a relationship with me.

Great environment, nice benefits, great discount, good management. Everything you could expect working at Best Buy. Employees are awesome as well.

Cons

Haven't ran into any cons just yet. If I do however, I will definitely post it here. Hopefully I won't find one though.
