Pros

If you have the right boss, best buy is an amazing place to work. Great benefits, great atmosphere. I have been there for over ten years, and have only thought of leaving the company once. Not being in commission has always been a strong point for best buy, and the bonus structure helps. Sales goals obviously exist, but you don't feel in jeopardy of losing your job if you don't hit every now and then.

Cons

If you don't have the right boss, things can be difficult. I've worked for managers who would do anything to win, including cheating, and been performance managed to the point of almost termination for not complying. Some district staff are out of touch and unrealistic.

Pros

Best Buy was arguably my best job I’ve ever worked. The work environment is fun, the recognition from the company is great, you feel connected to your peers, sales is emphasized but not forced down your throat. The customers were overall pleasant. You get your upset people as with any other company but Best Buy there was not much room for disappointment. The growth was there if you want it.

Cons

The pay is not a livable wage past a certain point. With kids and bills I unfortunately had to leave. Growing within Best Buy is kind of a who you know situation. While not horrible, it’s discouraging, or can be rather.

Pros

Travel to different store locations. On travel that requires a hotel meals are covered up to $80 a day. Mileage is reimbursed outside of 20miles from home and back.

Cons

You're required to have a car and it puts alot of strain on it and your body. You could be gone from home anywhere from a few days to a few months. Changes are very last minute.
