Pros

Good discount on consumer electronics

Cons

High expectations of knowing everything about hundreds of products, most of which you have never seen out of the box. Constant pressure to sell profitable services subscription (Total Tech Support), and get people to get a Best Buy credit card.

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.
