Pros
Best Buy pays very well compared to similar jobs and is a great place to work early in your life, or as a career if you move up through management or geek squad. In my experience, however, your enjoyment of your job largely rests on the people you work with, so some Best Buy stores are much better to work at than others.
Cons
Just as in any job involving lots of customer service, there is a lot of stress. You have to deal with a lot of angry, unintelligent, uninformed, and stubborn people who will get on your nerves. Working holidays is especially miserable. Also, if you are not especially talented with tech or management, your opportunities of keeping Best Buy as a career are limited.
