Vantaggi
The environment fosters great ideas and wonderful collaboration. Many of the people working here are leaders in their professions and it shows. It's a place where talent and strenghts are recognized and encouraged and I would heartily recommend it as a place to come for long-term employement. The family friendly workload is offset by a really fast paced work environment that gets a lot done in a short period of time. You will have impact on a national, if not worldwide scale and your work will impact thousands of people, not only employees, but customers of all types. If you can put up with the pace and youthful atmosphere, it's a great place.
Svantaggi
As with any large company, many of the health, wellness, and wealth benefits are at best, average. There is nothing special about the benefits, witht the exception of the Results Oriented Work Environment concept, which is exceptional. While the pace is one of the best reasons to work for Best Buy, it also has a downside in that it fosters sometimes sloppy or poorly documented SOP and lends projects a aura of the 'flavor of the month' with little credibilty. And working witht he outsourced IT and HR departments is always a challenge, that is often difficult, and sometimes impossible, to overcome.
