Pros

Great technology, opportunity to get hands on experience with new technology and try out new things.

Cons

Heartbreaking race to the bottom in how people are treated. When I left the decline was in place, the core group or heartbeat that started Best Buy that was the culture of the company was leaving, the woman who should have taken over as its CEO did not and Joly took her spot. All of this was traded for short term results over the spirit and culture of the employee / customer experience. The company became very political, ignored the online war that was brewing and this agenda replaced taking care of people, both the employees and the customers. Sad it was an incredible company for so many years.

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.
