Pros

For the discount obviously and to build up a little resume to get the entry level portion out of my hairs.

Cons

Working @ bestbuy you have to be in a certain "click" AKA group and suck up to the managers to get promotions or the managers bring in their friends from other places and give them the job. Then they give them what they think they should be payed. working @ bestbuy for a year you see alot of boshit/politics. I understand politics are going to be everywhere but they are extremely severe @ bestbuy

Pros

-It's a job that is available in most locations.

Cons

-The company, on a corporate level, doesn't seem to grasp the value of the talent they have. - Close ties with Citibank subvert the importance of product knowledge, customer service, and revenue for credit card sales. - Daily Performance check-ins are overbearing and myopic. - Tends to burnout motivated employees with false carrots and hollow promises. - Pay's terrible, and rides the line of predatory at times.
