Pros

ROWE started with Best Buy - great promoter of work-life balance and working at the corporate campus is very convenient (full service banks, daycare, gym, great lunchroom, minute clinic, employee store... you can even get your oil changed and a passport). They made it very easy to be comfortable in your job and come into work every day. Great employee discount.

Cons

Leadership and management is dismal at best. Employee recognition is null, and the advancement of women and fairness to employees is non-existent. Even women who are part of WOLF (women's leadership forum - a employee resource group to help women network and build leadership skills) are constantly having to justify why it is important to have women in the work place as well as the importance of the women customer to all the male peers. There are organization changes and layoffs in one area or another every 4-6 months, so the job security is scarce. There is tremendous growth, which can be good if done right - Best Buy lets everyone run loose with little to no direction and then several different groups will be working on the same initiative all with huge capital funding and very high up positions leading it, but delivering no results... and then they change direction in the blink of an eye, don't communicate to anyone...

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.
