Pros

Employee Accommodation! 5% above cost. If you like car audio it is amazing as you will see 80% discounts! It is a good college job to get some toys that your friends can't afford yet.

Cons

I had a BS in Computer Information Systems from a top 10 school and was only making $10.15 b/c they couldn't afford to pay me more. PS, BBY is planning on building 400 more stores in the next 2 years...thats going from 900 to 1300!

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.
