Pros

There is great sales training-when competing with the largest online retailer, you must be able to have top-notch sales training, and Best Buy does a great job; awesome managers who help you succeed at your job; and great benefits. Also, I like the independence you get-the managers are not micromanagers.

Cons

Low pay, and don't get to sit down during shift-it isn't a big deal if you enjoy standing all day, but it can get to be a bit much when working full-time. If you are in school and are just looking for some part time income, then standing all day is just part of being young and working while in university in my opinion, but if you are looking to stay with Best Buy for some time, then I think having chairs where you can sit for part of your shift will improve performance and employee happiness in the long run. Also, there are no seats for customers when doing a large transaction in home theatre.

Great place to work if you love tech.

They have turned into corporate America. No longer care about their employees like they used to.

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.
