Pros

Some reasons to work at best buy is that they have great benefits for employees. Especially to buy the products that they sell in the store it is almost dirt cheap. they also ofer health and 401k. they have a friendly atmosphere trying to create an exciting place to work.

Cons

As a parttimer, i received unreliable hours. Sometimes I would get 5-25 hours depending on how busy it got. Also expect to work after thanksgiving and during the winter holidays. It is a very corporate structure, almost like a machine like feel. To get anything done, you have to follow Standard operating procedures.

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.
