Pros

I think that Best Buy can become a great career path for some. I know several people that have a great career out of Best Buy. You can start as a part time associate and make to divisional level in a matter of years. You meet some really extraordinary people. You recieve great training. And you can sleep well knowing that Best Buy is doing well in the bank ammidst other retailers that are not doing so well. You can get a very strong base, as every associate gets taught the basics of business. After leaving Best Buy, you could probably own your own business.

Cons

Your life becomes the box. You can easlily loose focus of your goals if you are not careful.

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.
