Pros

Best Buy is an overall awesome place to work, at least at the location I am at. The management is understanding of all needs and is willing to be very flexible with scheduling, at least for part time employees. The discount is amazing compared to other retailers and, provided that you don't abuse it, there is really no limit on how much you can buy. Management is willing to negotiate prices with employes on EOL (end of life) products and products that have been opened and returned. Most coworkers are competent and friendly; Best Buy must do a good job of judging in their interviews.

Cons

There are no terrible drawbacks to working at Best Buy, but you have the typical retail situation that you would at almost any store. Customers can be irate. Period. If you have good people skills you can generally make almost every customer happy however; management gives employees with no management role the authority to make some judgement calls - especially in Geek Squad and Customer Service.

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.
