Current Employee – been working at Best Buy full-time for more than a year

Pros – Great work environment if you are working with the right people. Some customers could be a pain in the butt sometimes but for the most part I enjoy helping people out. It's not so much the job itself that keeps me coming in to work every day, its the family that is created with the other employees, even leadership.

Cons – If you are in a department with a lot of conflicting personalities, working with them could be difficult. Sometimes customers are just too much of a pain to deal with, and some create such big problems we just want to tell them to leave, but we cannot.

Advice to Senior Management – Make sure everyone is doing their job, and doing it correctly. Checks and balances need to be in place.
