Pros

you get to learn about different TV appliances Technology

Cons

The biggest issue at this location is the lack of hours. Employees are expected to meet sales targets and performance expectations, yet many are not given enough shifts to earn a consistent income. Leadership and communication could also be improved. Management often seemed disconnected from employee concerns, and there was little support when it came to scheduling or career development. There are good coworkers and some positive learning opportunities, but the inconsistent hours and lack of strong leadership made it difficult to stay motivated. I would not recommend this location to anyone looking for stable employment.

Pros

Best Buy was arguably my best job I’ve ever worked. The work environment is fun, the recognition from the company is great, you feel connected to your peers, sales is emphasized but not forced down your throat. The customers were overall pleasant. You get your upset people as with any other company but Best Buy there was not much room for disappointment. The growth was there if you want it.

Cons

The pay is not a livable wage past a certain point. With kids and bills I unfortunately had to leave. Growing within Best Buy is kind of a who you know situation. While not horrible, it’s discouraging, or can be rather.

Pros

-It's a job that is available in most locations.

Cons

-The company, on a corporate level, doesn't seem to grasp the value of the talent they have. - Close ties with Citibank subvert the importance of product knowledge, customer service, and revenue for credit card sales. - Daily Performance check-ins are overbearing and myopic. - Tends to burnout motivated employees with false carrots and hollow promises. - Pay's terrible, and rides the line of predatory at times.
