Pros

The best reasons to work for Best Buy are the training and customers that come in everyday. One day you'll see a football star, the next day a musical composer.

Cons

The constant brainwashing of forcing credit cards and other services people really don't need. Sure they are good at sales but I have personally witnessed a poor family coming in only to leave with a $3,000 computer that i know will not be able to make the monthly payments.

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.
