Pros

The atmosphere at Best Buy HQ was awesome. My direct managers were very respectful, helpful, and willing to listen to suggestions for improvements. Best Buy likes to include its employees as to what is going on (at least in my department) in terms of strategies and changes in policies.

Cons

A downside of Best Buy was some of the management. While they were respectful, and great people, I'm not sure why some of their positions even existed. For example I had a manager that basically used a spreadsheet template and reported our SLA 1-2 times per day. That's pretty much all she did. Best Buy also promotes working remotely, which isn't necessarily bad, but seeing managers in the office for only 3-4 hours per day and online for maybe 1-2 hours at most makes me wonder why they're being paid salary for a 40 hour week.

Pros

No pros. Just don’t work here.

Cons

This job adds little to no value, either for customers or for career growth. The primary focus is pushing credit cards and memberships that many customers don’t actually need, making the work feel repetitive and unfulfilling. The workplace culture and management are poor, and employees are often assigned busywork instead of meaningful responsibilities. There is almost no opportunity to develop product knowledge or apply any technical or electronics skills. Even the sales experience is limited since the role revolves around following scripted pitches rather than building genuine sales or customer relationship skills. Overall, it’s not a strong entry-level position for someone looking to develop transferable skills. There are many other jobs that provide better learning opportunities, stronger career growth, and more valuable real-world experience.
