Pros

I love technology and it was easy for me to sell cameras to people! Your usually there to provide insight to customers who are not aware of tech and I have a gift to make it understandable.

Cons

For one your never compensated for what you sell. I outsold every single salesman yet there is no way to track numbers! They need to offer incentives for sales people because they are the ones doing the sales not the managers. Also management demands you to shove the protection plan down the throat of each customer. Yet if you get 95% success rate with protection plans you do not get rewarded! The manager does! This is backward business and it is complete BS. Best Buy stresses that the employees are not on commission so the "customer" does not feel rushed! This is complete BS because every manager is on commission. It looks good on paper now but wait in 5 years when you have a bunch of stoner's and drugy's who will only take the shady $10 an hour job.

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.
