Pros: Great learning atmosphere! I feel like I am really appreciated when I go to work. Best Buy has a way of bringing the best out of an individual.

Cons: The downside of working at Best Buy is having to work around major holidays. Your schedule can be different from week to week.

Pros: Pay is okay once you pass the line level associates. Supervisors make anywhere between $15-25 an hour, depending on what department you supervise. Mobile and Geek Squad are the highest. The discount is awesome.

Cons: No work-life balance. I've had vacations I've planned for and requested off for cancelled in front of my eyes due to a new company operating model. If you request time off, good luck getting it accepted in the first place. They talk about all the vacation and absence time they give you, but HIGHLY frown upon using it. I've seen serious HR abuses at multiple locations. When someone is disliked, they are quickly cut down for any reason possible. I've had multiple GMs tell me if they want someone gone, "they will find a way." This is retail hell. Run away from this company, run as far as you can. "DO MORE WITH LESS" is the company motto.

Pros: Interacting with employees and customers. Learning about the new technology. Employee discount.

Cons: The pay for line-level employees is way below the industry. Work-life balance can be tough at the supervisor or above level because you are required to work every day of every weekend.
