Pros

There weren't very many other than the discount.

Cons

Best Buy has to have been one of the most difficult and challenging places to work. There are rarely any opportunities to move up in the company. What is more than likely to happen is that Best Buy will hire someone from outside the company or someone who is already in a management position in the organization, but rarely from the bottom up. As their business has begun to shrink and also spike downwards, they've had to make major adjustments to the business as well as to the positions in the store, so it is common to have one associate wearing two or three hats for the same pay. I wouldn't recommend it. Period. It's not worth the time or the pay for retail.

Pros

No pros. Just don’t work here.

Cons

This job adds little to no value, either for customers or for career growth. The primary focus is pushing credit cards and memberships that many customers don’t actually need, making the work feel repetitive and unfulfilling. The workplace culture and management are poor, and employees are often assigned busywork instead of meaningful responsibilities. There is almost no opportunity to develop product knowledge or apply any technical or electronics skills. Even the sales experience is limited since the role revolves around following scripted pitches rather than building genuine sales or customer relationship skills. Overall, it’s not a strong entry-level position for someone looking to develop transferable skills. There are many other jobs that provide better learning opportunities, stronger career growth, and more valuable real-world experience.
