Pros

The employees are cool. You can make great friends and some lifetime connections. It is a great place to start but not a great career move. While I have enjoyed working here for a long time I am looking for something in my field of study. I am not interested in moving to Minnesota to move ahead in this company. The best benefit is probably the great discount and then the ability to go to school on Best Buy's dime.

Cons

Leadership is not always the best but they try. Promotions happen but you never know when you are going to be restructured out of a job. The pay is not good after you have been there for a long time and they do not give cost of living increases like some other places. I you already have your degree try to use it first, but BB is cool for a filler or a starter.

Pros

-It's a job that is available in most locations.

Cons

-The company, on a corporate level, doesn't seem to grasp the value of the talent they have. - Close ties with Citibank subvert the importance of product knowledge, customer service, and revenue for credit card sales. - Daily Performance check-ins are overbearing and myopic. - Tends to burnout motivated employees with false carrots and hollow promises. - Pay's terrible, and rides the line of predatory at times.
