Pros

Fun employees and the discount. I have some of the best times (and worst) while working at Best Buy. I have made several friends and formed many relationships with the employees in my store.

Cons

Not flexible with scheduling. No incentives to work harder (non-managment level employees.) Zero support from other departments within the store. There is a high expectation of Geek Squad agents and we receive no support from anyone else. They expect us to answer phones, yield other departments questions, work the front counter, sell on the sales floor, setup new PC's and somehow fix old PC's for our existing customers...all with a staff of 2-3 employees per shift.

Pros

Great management Helpful Staff Opportunities to grow

Cons

If you start out on registers up front it can be difficult to learn on the floor and find a department especially if you are not selling enough credit cards and memberships

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.
