Pros

Best Buy's greatest strength is it's drive to be involved in charities. The company's incentives for sales growth are also the only of their kind I've seen in retail.

Cons

For all the community outreach Best Buy seems keen on indulging in, it blatantly ignores the specific markets of it's individual store locations. A company should not place a store in a rural area and expect big city sales. Nor should a company place a store in a low income housing based neighborhood, and expect mall type shrink percentages.

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.
