Pros

If you love consumer electronics / technology and love to share your knowledge and experience with others, Best Buy is a great opportunity.

Cons

When hiring they focused on sales rather than candidates technical skills... especially in the Geek Squad. The store management is all over the board and communication usually leaves something to be desired. I regularly find the departments understaffed... This particular store is new and it's been difficult considering the economic times we are in. We are in an affluent area (small suburbs) so it's not the volume of sales, it's how much each sale is and I don't think the management has figured out how to organize and train the team to work properly in this situation.

Pros

Flexible hours, employee perks such as discounted products, offers 401(k) despite being part-time, coworkers who are nice to work with.

Cons

Management is quick to call-out sales that have nothing attached to it (warranties, card applications, memberships, or accessories). There is a rodent problem that has not been addressed for nearly a year; food and beverages cannot be sold at this store.
