Pros

I worked at Best Buy for over 3 years in customer service. The pay is low, started at $8, moved to 9.50 in 3 years. as a part timer, i got between 20-40hrs a week, mostly getting about 30hrs a week. Duties other then customer related involved product restocking, managing cash reg.

Cons

selling magazines to customers at point-of-sale. I got MVP 9 months in a row, but this is an annoying item to sell to customers, you can tell they dont want it.

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.
