Pros

As a college student it wasn't a bad job. I could get time off when I really needed it and the pay was OK. The best part of working for Best Buy is the discount and accommodations.

Cons

The focus of Geek Squad is moving in the wrong direction. At the time I was there the focus was not to find qualified people but people competent enough to utilize one of the many ways they outsource computer repairs. The focus need to change toward servicing customer from within the store and hire people at a decent wage who know something.

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.
