Pros

Employee discount is good. You save a lot on buying cables and chargers. And you can try new technology every day.

Cons

If you are working for Best Buy or considering it in the future, I strongly recommend you think twice! Discrimination and Favoritism are top 2 competencies that senior managers demonstrate. If you want to get promoted, no matter what you do and how hard you work, unless you have connections forget about it! I have worked for several Fortune 500 companies, but believe me, after just few months working for Best Buy I discovered that I have made the biggest mistake of my career life. Their employee satisfaction survey is a joke. They will find the reason to get rid of people who scored the store low to increase the rating for the future instead of fixing the problem. Or they just terminate the GM to blame some one vs. fixing the culture. In the eyes of Best Buy you are nothing more than a revenue generating machine who worth nothing beside the numbers !!! #discrimination , #theworstcompanytoworkfor , #Bestbuy

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.
