Pros

The only pro was the work itself. I love sales but that was it.

Cons

Management. The worst managed company I have ever seen. My second day began with a manager asking me about my breasts, that manager was later promoted to assistant general manager. This is the same guy who smoked on the sales floor, took underage workers out drinking and left them there with the bar tab on a training seminar for the company. It took me, a brand new employee, contacting hr a ridiculous amount of times for this idiot to even be reviewed. And the number they post in the break room and the one in the new hire pamphlet is not the correct he number. That was fun. The benefits are terrible. I'm not even going to dive further into that. My GM, one of the AGMs, the mobile department supervisor and the only other 3 full time mobile employees all quit within my first two weeks. The department was in shambles. I took over the mess as an hourly and never received any sort of thank you and of course no raise. I ran the iPhone 6 launch and Black Friday. Still nothing. The supervisor I spent only two months with was worthless. I did his job as well as more than met my quota. I was averaging 65+ hours a week. And that leads up to the end of my time there. I have now been waiting two pay cycles to recieve my final check including the bonus from 3 months ago and my PTO pay out. Best buy is corrupt and going under. Don't jump on that wagon.

Pros

Learn a lot on the job. Great place to entry level in tech. Geek squad has a lot of independence from the store when I was there.

Cons

Proper scheduling. If people call out they do not try to fill role they simply expect you to do more. Rotating schedule, Your on and off days will change week to week.

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.
