It's retail, but the pay is decent, the benefits are better than expected, and management is surprisingly supportive. - Sales Consultant Best Buy Employee Review

Pros

The pay is higher than I had thought it would be (for retail), full-time benefits are good, management has always backed me on the sales floor, and I've never had a problem getting time off approved.

Cons

It's retail, so customers can really suck sometimes. It is harder than I had anticipated to move up in the company, but they are fair in showing you how to make it happen.

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.
