Pros

The best reasons to work for Best Buy are the training and customers that come in everyday. One day you'll see a football star, the next day a musical composer.

Cons

The constant brainwashing of forcing credit cards and other services people really don't need. Sure they are good at sales but I have personally witnessed a poor family coming in only to leave with a $3,000 computer that i know will not be able to make the monthly payments.

Pros

Great General Manager, that’s about it.

Cons

All of the leadership besides the GM were unprofessional. They couldn’t help it but most were incompetent.

Pros

No Need to sell or deal with customers (Much) Constantly moving so you always have a task to do Management leaves you to your own devices Almost all warehouse employees have a set of headphone

Cons

Everyone (Cust & employees) Expect an encyclopedic knowledge on where every single item is. Management seems to think we can lift a 85" tv, pull a washer off the top shelf, stock gaming shelves, and handle store pick up at the same moment. Customers think we don't want to help them when we call someone else to help with sales There's almost too much to do and even though we may have 1-3 employees working at a time, 1 is at the door, 1 is behind store pick up, which leaves 1 employee to handle new orders, deliveries, and down stocking.
