Pros

- Can learn a lot. Can grow quickly if you have initiative and drive - You won't go crazy from overwork if you get on a good team - Lots of work to go around so you'll never be bored - Great PTO benefits - Sweet yearly bonus - Most teams use latest tools and technologies - Friendly coworkers

Cons

- Not very diverse, Best Buy seems allergic to diversity - Pay could be higher - Yearly bonus from previous year is paid out in April of the new year - Team outings aren't covered by company, if you go out to get food with your team, you'll have to use your own money.

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.
