Pros

I worked at the Corporate office and not in a Best Buy store. At the time, Brad Anderson was the CEO. He is an amazing person who shows respect for everyone working in his company. He brought in the work/life balance program called ROWE (results only work environment), which supports the belief that when people have the freedom to tend to their personal lives, they have much more to give in all areas, including their work. It removed the clock-watching aspect of work and people no longer could judge you if you left early to attend your child's school program or even if you needed to go shopping. We actually became more productive.

Cons

The only issue I ever had working there was that there still remained a sense of a good ole boys network, which I know Brad surely did not support, but it existed nonetheless. As a female, it could be off putting to have very few females in leadership roles. I know they are aware of this and are trying to promote women and other non-white males into leadership positions.

Pros

No pros. Just don’t work here.

Cons

This job adds little to no value, either for customers or for career growth. The primary focus is pushing credit cards and memberships that many customers don’t actually need, making the work feel repetitive and unfulfilling. The workplace culture and management are poor, and employees are often assigned busywork instead of meaningful responsibilities. There is almost no opportunity to develop product knowledge or apply any technical or electronics skills. Even the sales experience is limited since the role revolves around following scripted pitches rather than building genuine sales or customer relationship skills. Overall, it’s not a strong entry-level position for someone looking to develop transferable skills. There are many other jobs that provide better learning opportunities, stronger career growth, and more valuable real-world experience.
