Pros

Fun coworkers, some easy days

Cons

They push you to get bestbuy credit cards at least twice a month and if you don't, you get a talk and then a write up if you continue to not hit your goal. They paid me so low and didn't even bother to give me a raise after 2 years of going over and beyond. I even asked for a raised and they said no. Overrall, sometimes they don't care if you go over and beyond. Reason why I left because they didn't see how hard I tried.

Pros

Learn a lot on the job. Great place to entry level in tech. Geek squad has a lot of independence from the store when I was there.

Cons

Proper scheduling. If people call out they do not try to fill role they simply expect you to do more. Rotating schedule, Your on and off days will change week to week.

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.
