Pros

Working at best buy can be defining. People actually get excited when they hear you work at best buy. You are also working around the latest and greatest technology, thus you get to see and experience cool new things before anyone else. Beyond that they do give a very good discount on a lot of items. Finally, people there are friendly, and once you have worked there for some time it is more like working with a family.

Cons

They pay is not all that great. If you're a great salesman and could get a job actually making comission, I would advise going in that direction if money is a concern. They do have benefits which help to offset the pay, the employee discount, their 401k plan, etc...

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.
