Pros

the discount is pretty good, good place to work in high school/college, really flexible if you need time off for vacation or school ..employees are nice can meet some friends.

Cons

they hired me and about 7 other people in my dept (portable electronics) for seasonal....we all made the same......after the seasons over we dont get a 90 day raise but they give the new people a better starting salary (30 cents) when were the ones that trained them... when I was hired I basically worked for one day and came into the next one and got sent home after working an hour. I didnt work until another 25 days ..they called it a "labor cut"...I basically have to beg for hours but they wouldnt give it to me until the "labor cut" was over For me I was trained in the begining for like 20 minutes and they told me to walk around on my own. I basically got more knowledge about products/ services by dealing with customer complaints I live in a great area but best buy attracts some real wackers. They will rearrange your schedule without telling you. sometimes ( print out your schedule as soon as it comes out and if they changed it you have proof and show it to your store manager.)

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.
