Pros

Working for Best Buy was okay. Best Buy is an organization that is all about the "extras"... Best Buy claims they value diversity and offer wonderful advancement opportunities. Unfortunately...

Cons

They want everyone to be Zombies. Be a great a**kisser, and you may go far! Although Best Buy is a non-commissioned retail store, the pressure from management on the sales floor is unbelievable. One of the most stressfull jobs I have ever had.

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.
