Pros

Employee Discount was really nice because it was what made working there worth it. If I didn't have the employee discount I would have never applied for the job.

Cons

CoWorkers: Unfortunately, there are alot of rough people who end up working along side you at work. They have no long term goals in life, and all they care about is the latest movie release or game release. In my case I was a student, and I was there strictly for compensation and discount, and I did not want to be these people's friends. Let's face it they were losers. If you can find a store with clean cut upbeat people than you are lucky. There are great stores at Best Buy, but some store's cultures are rough. It all starts with the GM and the attention to detail when hiring employees.

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.
