Vantaggi
I did enjoy working with a group of people who were of same interest and getting hands on experience with the latest computer technology. Benefits were decent.
Svantaggi
Typical corporate all talk no walk that you would expect. Entry level positions pay poorly and are often only part time (but be expected to be on call). Big “we’re a family” energy but it’s phony. While working for Best Buy I had a mental health crisis and was unable to work for an extended period of time. Return to work was difficult and BB management didn’t work well with my psychiatrist. They demanded a fixed return to work date whereas my psychiatrist recommended slow reintroduction to work. My psychiatrist couldn’t recommend a full return to regular duties. I ended up being fired for not complying with their sick leave requirements. On top of that a lot of negative gossip was spread around the team, information that should have been confidential as well.
