Pros

Best Buy is an amazing place to work. I can always count on being challenged every day to put my best foot forward. Every day I see the quality of my work come alive in those I develop to one day take my place so that I can confidently move to the next level. The salary and benefits are wonderful and I am proud to be a part of this company.

Cons

I want to first say that the company itself is true and just, but sometimes it's the 'people' that work for the company that make sour impressions. I believe there should be a pay system that is consistently based on performance and not so much left up to someone who is inconsistent and unfair. Do not mis-understand, I know that Best Buy pays well; however, the system of how that pay is decided is not uniform throughout.

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.
