Pros

Typically you will see very forward thinking people. It is an outside the box company... Every time I have ever had an issue, I have had a VERY unique response to it that both solved the issue and helped me remember what I had to do to get the answer that I needed.

Cons

You CANNOT be a full time worker and expect to have much of a social life, or go to school. They are very strict about hours, and ratios of opens to closes, and open shifts of weekends.

Pros

Best Buy was arguably my best job I’ve ever worked. The work environment is fun, the recognition from the company is great, you feel connected to your peers, sales is emphasized but not forced down your throat. The customers were overall pleasant. You get your upset people as with any other company but Best Buy there was not much room for disappointment. The growth was there if you want it.

Cons

The pay is not a livable wage past a certain point. With kids and bills I unfortunately had to leave. Growing within Best Buy is kind of a who you know situation. While not horrible, it’s discouraging, or can be rather.

Pros

Travel to different store locations. On travel that requires a hotel meals are covered up to $80 a day. Mileage is reimbursed outside of 20miles from home and back.

Cons

You're required to have a car and it puts alot of strain on it and your body. You could be gone from home anywhere from a few days to a few months. Changes are very last minute.
