Pros
Best Buy's greatest strength is it's drive to be involved in charities. The company's incentives for sales growth are also the only of their kind I've seen in retail.
Cons
For all the community outreach Best Buy seems keen on indulging in, it blatantly ignores the specific markets of it's individual store locations. A company should not place a store in a rural area and expect big city sales. Nor should a company place a store in a low income housing based neighborhood, and expect mall type shrink percentages.
