Pros

The employees are cool. You can make great friends and some lifetime connections. It is a great place to start but not a great career move. While I have enjoyed working here for a long time I am looking for something in my field of study. I am not interested in moving to Minnesota to move ahead in this company. The best benefit is probably the great discount and then the ability to go to school on Best Buy's dime.

Cons

Leadership is not always the best but they try. Promotions happen but you never know when you are going to be restructured out of a job. The pay is not good after you have been there for a long time and they do not give cost of living increases like some other places. I you already have your degree try to use it first, but BB is cool for a filler or a starter.

Great place to work if you love tech.

They have turned into corporate America. No longer care about their employees like they used to.

Pros

Travel to different store locations. On travel that requires a hotel meals are covered up to $80 a day. Mileage is reimbursed outside of 20miles from home and back.

Cons

You're required to have a car and it puts alot of strain on it and your body. You could be gone from home anywhere from a few days to a few months. Changes are very last minute.
