Pros

I’ve worked in two different stores. One where your customers were great, but coworkers were horrible. Then another where the coworkers are great, customers are horrible. Depends on location. Good discounts especially on geek squad protection.

Cons

Over the last year has become more and more predatory when it comes to their sales tactics. Getting to a point where they want us to sell the MyBestBuyTotal membership which covers their product for up to two years AND the geek squad protection. Essentially double dipping on the revenue you can produce from warranties.

Pros

Learn a lot on the job. Great place to entry level in tech. Geek squad has a lot of independence from the store when I was there.

Cons

Proper scheduling. If people call out they do not try to fill role they simply expect you to do more. Rotating schedule, Your on and off days will change week to week.

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.
