Pros

Employee Accommodation! 5% above cost. If you like car audio it is amazing as you will see 80% discounts! It is a good college job to get some toys that your friends can't afford yet.

Cons

I had a BS in Computer Information Systems from a top 10 school and was only making $10.15 b/c they couldn't afford to pay me more. PS, BBY is planning on building 400 more stores in the next 2 years...thats going from 900 to 1300!

Pros

Flexible hours, employee perks such as discounted products, offers 401(k) despite being part-time, coworkers who are nice to work with.

Cons

Management is quick to call-out sales that have nothing attached to it (warranties, card applications, memberships, or accessories). There is a rodent problem that has not been addressed for nearly a year; food and beverages cannot be sold at this store.
