Pros
The only saving grace about this job is working with your fellow co-workers. When you're a salesman you have to rely on each other a lot for support in the job. Whether it's lifting something heavy, getting information you don't know, or just having your back.
Cons
The starting pay is horrible. The management there is irresponsible, demanding, and rude. They'll often call you in at the last minute, and punish you if you don't answer. And they'll punish you for literally being one minute late.
Advice to Management
Treat employees with some respect, and pay them a little more.

Neutral OutlookNo opinion of CEOI have been working at Best Buy part-time (Less than a year)
Pros
For a retail job, selling technology is a lot better subject matter than most. You get to talk with people in somewhat unique interactions, not just mindless cash register punching.
Cons
Held to many different sales numbers. The expectations of commission sales without the money for it. Because of company expectations, management was obsessed with credit card applications, to the point my superiors asked me to trick people into it. Also have to work Thanksgiving. I worked 16 out of 24 hours during black Friday.
Advice to Management
Stop trying to cram credit cards down people's throats. If you are so concerned with people hitting hard sales quotas, pay commission.

Good pay for the work performed. Great peer team!!! Support when needed. Great employee team!!!
Cons
District leadership clearly had favorites and made no effort to hide that!
Advice to Management
Be more specific. Don't expect people to know what you expect if you don;t clearly tell them. Hide the favoritism better.
