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.

Pros

Great people. Great benefits for a retail company. Get to keep up with all the latest tech.

Cons

Terrible hours - This is more of a retail symptom than anything specific to Best Buy. You will work most weekends and Holidays. Great starter job but easy to get trapped - I as only supposed to be there a few months, It was something to help pay bills while I was in between jobs in my career. Next thing I knew, 4 years had passed and I was still there.
