Pros

The discount is nice to have. It used to be much better though a couple of years ago. My co-workers at my store turned out to be good friends of mine, but since the store closed it would not be the same.

Cons

Customers get the right to berate and abuse you for defending Best Buy's asinine policies regarding anything. Best Buy makes their employees work long hours with little or no breaks. Managers are dismissive and over work their employees while under training them. This is why most of the staff at Best Buy Stores have very little product or policy knowledge when they are put out onto the sales floor. And let's not forget about that awful uniform.

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.
