Pros

Employee discount on small items. Assistant Managers are great and want to help!! Managers are great people who care,

Cons

They thrive off of DEI hires. Which unfortunately hurts productivity as they will get favorable treatment in scheduling. Understaffing issues (not getting current employees to show up for scheduled shifts) if you love being schedule 4 hr shifts and then working extra to cover the people who didnt show up BBY is your ideal place. Also you will be told you are a fulltime hire and then be schedule 20 hours for the week. I feel like the store managers have their hands tied by an out of touch Corporate boss.

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.
