Pros

The discount. Thats it. You get an awesome discount and you really get a taste of how much Best Buy is ripping off their customers.

Cons

Everything. The managers are incompetent and lazy. They push employees to tell lies to customers to increase profit margin but have ways of explaining it to make it sound justified. They pick favorites and that is how people get promotions. They can deny your time off requests for any reason. The HR staff that is there to help employees being treated unfairly does pretty much nothing. The pay scale is very unfair from one position to the next and talking about pay is grounds for termination because they don't want the employees who are getting screwed to realize it. Overall a terrible place to work unless you want the discount. Don't try to make this into a career.

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.
