Pros
Best Buy provides real-world insight into the complexities of running a business. Even the part-time employee is expected to have a clear understanding of what it takes to make a business profitable. I also found it easy to make friends at Best Buy, as nearly every employee was in my age range (20 - 30)
Cons
There is NO consideration for work/life balance. You are highly unlikely to be successful with the company if you can't make yourself available 24 hours a day. If you aren't at work, you should be on the phone driving business, checking in with your employees. These expectations may not be written into Best Buy "law", but they have become requirements due to the culture of fear that is created. No one ever feels safe in their position, even when they are succeeding. So, they push their employees harder and harder to meet unatainable goals. Everyone in leadership knows that no one cares about what you did last month, last week, or even yesterday. It's never good enough. So they fend off demotion/termination by riding the employees until they hate showing up for work. Additionally, Best Buy constantly "restructures", eliminating/consolidating positions, trying and failing at new initiatives. Employees who have been in district level positions often find themselves back in the stores because their positions were deemed no longer necessary. That is, until a few months later, when the company decides that the new structure isn't working, and that the old positions should be reinstated. This gives the former district manager the pleasure of re-applying for their old job and hoping it isn't awarded to someone else. The bottom line is, for whatever positives there may have been for me while I worked for Best Buy, I never once felt that the company cared about me. I never once felt safe and secure in my position, and overall, my experience with Best Buy was very disatisfying.
