Pros

The location where I worked was just for the money. The pay and the benefits are excellent. The technology is really fun, and Best Buy will make sure you are as trained as you want to be on any new and existing technologies.

Cons

No communication, and if something goes wrong, be prepared to cover your ass, because management is going to cover theirs even if it's with yours. They actually played a big part in my getting divorced. Not allowing for hardly any weekend time off, forcing me to work 12pm - 8:30pm shifts when I lived an hour away and the weekend was the only time I had a chance to spend any time with my wife.

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.
