Pros

It provides nice and clean environment. Friendly workers that makes you feel at home. Nevertheless, Best Buy offers great working experience and well training program. This allows many people like me , unexperienced to feel secure and knows the product better. As to my experience, not many places do well trainings. They simply just let you go free and learn from trial and error. Without a dobut, it is a tough way to learn because people tend to stretch out and nervous when they made a mistake. Aside from that, Best Buy does offer good employee discounts that is very valuable to staff.

Cons

The downsides include time schedule and punch clock system. The clock system is really strange because you must punch in 3minutes before and after the time. Otherwise it will not work. and during lunch the 30 minute rule is fairly strict. which is why a downside. In the meantime, time schedule tends to be not too flexible. Although I did say that best buy offers good training system, it is more of a introductory level. All the details are hard to know unless you ask to know. Workers tend to be young and not that responsible. These are the downsides for Best Buy

Pros

Flexible hours, employee perks such as discounted products, offers 401(k) despite being part-time, coworkers who are nice to work with.

Cons

Management is quick to call-out sales that have nothing attached to it (warranties, card applications, memberships, or accessories). There is a rodent problem that has not been addressed for nearly a year; food and beverages cannot be sold at this store.
