Pros

- slight discount - other then management co-workers are nice and hard working (when actually given jobs to do) - next to Loblaws, so easy lunch

Cons

I was hired there after they changed to BestBuy from Futureshop, this was a good move since, I know everyone hated Futureshop they were pushy and almost rude. yet right after they hired me they decided they didnt want to train me, or any other new people they hired, and brought back alot of people from old Futureshop stores that closed down, downtown. so they let me go after my probation. So why did they hire me? im assuming it was for some sort of tax breaks or something. - not a single day of training, they just assume you know how to navigate the store and the computers - most days there is nothing to do (again, I dont know why they hired me) a lot of the time they had me wipe down shelves, which is fine i dont mind cleaning, but when im literally cleaning the same thing every day because there is no product to work, it kills your moral very very fast - nobody is there because they like it, every single person i met was moving on to somthing better, because best buy could not provide what they needed to live. even my direct supervisor had a small pet business on the side because she could not support herself and her child. - if you think your getting full time, think again.

Pros

-It's a job that is available in most locations.

Cons

-The company, on a corporate level, doesn't seem to grasp the value of the talent they have. - Close ties with Citibank subvert the importance of product knowledge, customer service, and revenue for credit card sales. - Daily Performance check-ins are overbearing and myopic. - Tends to burnout motivated employees with false carrots and hollow promises. - Pay's terrible, and rides the line of predatory at times.
