Pros

when working as a full-time employee there are good benefits. If you are attending school, you can get money back for every grade C and above to compensate for your school expenses for that semester. Overall it's a great learning experience with customer service and being able to work with others in the environment. The company also does provide the ability to advance in their career field quickly. There is a salary increase after 3 months of working within the company, and another one after a year of working with the company. The discounts on accessories for your electronics is great. Although it is ideal to sale the quota trying to be filled, there is not as much pressure or stress to have to constantly harass customers into sales since there is no commission. It is easier to approach a customer as a friend and genuinely fit the electronic of their need to fill their everyday lifestyle.

Cons

some shifts can end extremely late or begin extremely early depending on your job position. Best Buy employees tend to get written up a lot and can easily get fired if too many write ups pile up for one employee. Generally write-ups are issued with meaningful purpose but there have been instances where different small unintentional mistakes and employee makes can result in penalty.

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.
