Pros

Excellent opportunities for advancement so long as your are willing to put in the elbow grease to get there. Only in rare occasions does Best Buy recruit from outside the company, which is a good thing. Most Best Buy employees are aware of this and appreciate the opportunities that are laid out for them.

Cons

It's retail, so obviously you don't have normal "weekends" off. Most of Best Buy's money is made during the holiday season, so you employees do not get ANY time off from the months of October through January, making it very difficult to spend any time with family. Putting a strain on your personal life.

Pros

No Need to sell or deal with customers (Much) Constantly moving so you always have a task to do Management leaves you to your own devices Almost all warehouse employees have a set of headphone

Cons

Everyone (Cust & employees) Expect an encyclopedic knowledge on where every single item is. Management seems to think we can lift a 85" tv, pull a washer off the top shelf, stock gaming shelves, and handle store pick up at the same moment. Customers think we don't want to help them when we call someone else to help with sales There's almost too much to do and even though we may have 1-3 employees working at a time, 1 is at the door, 1 is behind store pick up, which leaves 1 employee to handle new orders, deliveries, and down stocking.
