      I worked at Best Buy full-time (More than 10 years)

      Pros

      Get place to learn and sharpen your leadership skills. I was there for 10+ years and it was the best business school I could have gone to. I had great mentors and good managers for the most of my time there. I started as a part time associate and moved up over the years. Training was the best feature while I was there.

      Cons

      Transparency wasn't always the best when I was there.

      Competitive pay, advancement opportunity, good benefit package. There are opportunities to learn and grow every day. Wide variety of career opportunities.

      The holiday season is always a challenge if you work on the retail side of the business. Long hours and extra days are the norm. This is more of a retail industry con than a company specific one.

      Advice to Management

      Hold retail leadership teams more accountable to the values set forth by the company.
