Pros

You learn a LOT about upcoming tech and how to present yourself as a fitting salesmen.

Cons

The pushing of credit cards and quotas to hit daily, creates pressure that is competitive an overwhelming for most. After saying that customers are always right they promote a predatory credit card with benefits that are outweighed by buying more than most could afford; while promising low interest. Their real target is to hope you do NOT make these payments in time and make money off of your suffering. For this reason I refused to take advantage of customers but was told off by my managers for not doing this. A terrible strategy to gaining loyal customers and is one of the main reasons Best Buy is a failing Business.

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.
