Pros

Discount. Best Buy was a gateway into the tech world for me. It started with computers and eventually home theatre equipment and digital cameras, etc. Schedule Flexibility. With the exception of Black Friday and pre Xmas, I was usually able to get off without explaining too much. Great place for somebody who enjoys technology & people.

Cons

Occasionally, the customers are not the best, but that is to be expected in any retail box. Personally, I couldn't stand the 6 and 7am store meetings. During the holidays, all negatives are amplified exponentially.

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.
