Pros

People take vacations and it is expected that they won't be available (at least for junior level) Reasonable flexibility to move in the directions you want to go over time Excellent severance pay

Cons

I can only speak for my team which was quite disorganized, I was not given much work to do. Getting promoted is difficult, there are limited positions Best Buy is not doing great as a company so bonuses are small and there can be layoffs

Pros

Great General Manager, that’s about it.

Cons

All of the leadership besides the GM were unprofessional. They couldn’t help it but most were incompetent.

Pros

No Need to sell or deal with customers (Much) Constantly moving so you always have a task to do Management leaves you to your own devices Almost all warehouse employees have a set of headphone

Cons

Everyone (Cust & employees) Expect an encyclopedic knowledge on where every single item is. Management seems to think we can lift a 85" tv, pull a washer off the top shelf, stock gaming shelves, and handle store pick up at the same moment. Customers think we don't want to help them when we call someone else to help with sales There's almost too much to do and even though we may have 1-3 employees working at a time, 1 is at the door, 1 is behind store pick up, which leaves 1 employee to handle new orders, deliveries, and down stocking.
