Pros

fun people, alright benefits. 401k is great compared to similar jobs. 3 weeks time off a year. employee discount is amazing and easily the best benefit for working at best buy. It can be a nice place to work depending on what you like to do for a living and or for fun. Expect to work your butt off during the holidays

Cons

silly hours, some employees are useless and impossible to get them fired or moved to other positions.

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.
