Pros

Best Buy is a great to make a career out of a High School Diploma. All you have to do is work hard and kiss ass from when you 1st start to make your way up to a nice management salary where you will be satisfied for many years. It does not take a lot of knowledge or skills, simply acting like you care and making friends with management and always asking to get promoted will land you a successful career for many years if you don't mind complaints from customers. On a lower level: discount is GREAT on many accessories/TVs/Car Audio/Sometimes Appliances. Best Buy will work great around your schedule for part timers and even full time.

Cons

Because management is not the most qualified group of individuals, you have to deal with every day people that made it to their position by social status. If you happen to get a good supervisor or manager then it can benefit you also though. It is not a very official or professional company. Training sucks! But if you can make it to the top pretty easy, who cares?

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.
