Pros

I worked at Best Buy during high school as well as for a while during college. The best way to explain the experience is this: it's retail, there's no avoiding the pitfalls that come with that, but in terms of retail Best Buy is likely the best it gets. Environment is friendly and you can see that that the company has a very strong values system that is easy to identify with.

Cons

There's no avoiding the fact that you will run into some bad management, but I'm sure this is true at every retail location.

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.
