Pros

The discount is the best part of working at Best Buy. Also, it is a friendly environment with a fun day every day. I work in PCHO part time and it is a great experience to help other people get into technology and find out about their products. Working with electronics is about the best part because I have grown up with them and didn't want to have to fix them every day, but see others enjoy their technology. I don't know of any other job that my friends have where you can play 4 square or kick ball before you start work in the monring!

Cons

Sometimes you have to work really long hours. Not having enough staff can also hurt your sales because people are sometimes impatient. Sometimes, I wish we had more time to train on some of the new products we get in. Pay could also be a bit higher, although compared to some other starter jobs this would be considered good. I wish it were easier to move up in the system as well. You don't see many management shift changes in the company. Also, rank and numbers are sometimes pushed too much on the employees. Otherwise, it is a great place to work.

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.
