Pros

Employee Discount, tuition reimbursement, desperation.

Cons

The customers are hostile at times and yell at line-levels who have no real say and are only following policy. Best Buy does not train employees to, well, not piss customers off. Store management at times can be very corrupt, with managers covering up for other managers who are stealing.

Pros

-It's a job that is available in most locations.

Cons

-The company, on a corporate level, doesn't seem to grasp the value of the talent they have. - Close ties with Citibank subvert the importance of product knowledge, customer service, and revenue for credit card sales. - Daily Performance check-ins are overbearing and myopic. - Tends to burnout motivated employees with false carrots and hollow promises. - Pay's terrible, and rides the line of predatory at times.
