Pros

No matter what, it depends on the store. I got lucky for the most part and they worked around my school schedule, I got plenty or recognition and moved up. I'll be honest and say that I learned more about business at Best Buy than I did at college and I got my 4-year degree in business. It's a great place to observe different levels of positions, how to interact with them and where you fit.

Cons

Gossip is an issue in any store. Try to stay out of it and just get in, do your job, have fun, leave. The last thing you want to do is get caught up in drama that is bound to happen.

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.
