Pros

Many locations allow you to transfer to alternate locations if needed.

Cons

Management lacks leadership skills and shows lack of appriciation for employees. They change job titles just so they can cut peoples pay. Frequently experience re-orgnaization. Best Buy has "re-organized" every year I've worked there and it always means more work for no more pay, or less pay in some cases.

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.
