Pros

Employee discount, amazing humans (I made a lot of friends that I still talk to), personal relationships with Vendors (I got to know some incredible people at Sony, LG, Samsung, HP, Google + more), schedule flexibility, and generally good leadership.

Cons

Its retail... that speaks for itself. Sometimes long hours, Black Friday every year, Blackout dates where you can't take PTO, Rude customers, very pushy on getting Geek Squad Protection, Services, Best Buy credit cards, and Total Tech Support that took away from the sales experience from the employees AND from the customers perspective. Sometimes high pressure to perform and also sometimes unhealthy competition between coworkers trying to bump up their numbers (even though its not a commission sales job).

Pros

Travel to different store locations. On travel that requires a hotel meals are covered up to $80 a day. Mileage is reimbursed outside of 20miles from home and back.

Cons

You're required to have a car and it puts alot of strain on it and your body. You could be gone from home anywhere from a few days to a few months. Changes are very last minute.
