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

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.
