It's retail, but the pay is decent, the benefits are better than expected, and management is surprisingly supportive. - Sales Consultant Best Buy Employee Review

Pros

The pay is higher than I had thought it would be (for retail), full-time benefits are good, management has always backed me on the sales floor, and I've never had a problem getting time off approved.

Cons

It's retail, so customers can really suck sometimes. It is harder than I had anticipated to move up in the company, but they are fair in showing you how to make it happen.

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.
