Pros

Employee discount on small items. Assistant Managers are great and want to help!! Managers are great people who care,

Cons

They thrive off of DEI hires. Which unfortunately hurts productivity as they will get favorable treatment in scheduling. Understaffing issues (not getting current employees to show up for scheduled shifts) if you love being schedule 4 hr shifts and then working extra to cover the people who didnt show up BBY is your ideal place. Also you will be told you are a fulltime hire and then be schedule 20 hours for the week. I feel like the store managers have their hands tied by an out of touch Corporate boss.

Pros

No pros. Just don’t work here.

Cons

This job adds little to no value, either for customers or for career growth. The primary focus is pushing credit cards and memberships that many customers don’t actually need, making the work feel repetitive and unfulfilling. The workplace culture and management are poor, and employees are often assigned busywork instead of meaningful responsibilities. There is almost no opportunity to develop product knowledge or apply any technical or electronics skills. Even the sales experience is limited since the role revolves around following scripted pitches rather than building genuine sales or customer relationship skills. Overall, it’s not a strong entry-level position for someone looking to develop transferable skills. There are many other jobs that provide better learning opportunities, stronger career growth, and more valuable real-world experience.
