bigl523 Posted April 11, 2005 Share Posted April 11, 2005 i worked there for about 1.5 years, started off liking the job but as time went by i began to hate it. didn't get recognized for doing work well, hated being forced to sell junk to people (c'mon, who the hell wants msn dial up....) the people there were generally ###### too. paywise, i got 8.50 as my highest with my only experience being at a golf course at that time. the discount is sweet, but not sweet enough to make up for a bad company.

Getting told "You must sell extras or you're fired" didnt cut it for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kibkid Posted April 11, 2005 Share Posted April 11, 2005 Does anyone know how much Best Buy pays? :happy: 585720366[/snapback] You should work at the zoo. It's a lot of fun and you learn a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bangbang023 Veteran Posted April 11, 2005 Veteran Share Posted April 11, 2005 I'm making $9.17 an hour. Like it? Depends. I'm a moody person so that never helps. My home theater area manager is a dick. The GM is a condescending ######. That said, I work with some cool people and my area manager doesn't start **** with me after I flipped on him. Do your job. Do it better when they look and when there isn't a manager around, be honest and truely help the customer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
y0sh Posted April 11, 2005 Share Posted April 11, 2005 This is making me want to apply to Best Buy. I need a job, and if 8 bucks is the starting pay, I'm all up for it. If I work 16 hours a week (i'm a student), I'll be making 500 a month. Hehe.. hello TomTom Go navigation system. :D ^^ The problem I have with retail, is the customers. They're stupid. I feel like smacking them. That, and I don't like being told what to do. I have no incentive to work hard and help dumb customers, apart from the $. That's still not enough motivation. I do not believe what "I can give to the company". I believe in what the "company can give to me" lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im at a Moving Company until i return to school, $11 an hour, lots of overtime $$$ and double time $$$ and tips ($100 tip last saturday), but as the summer comes im ready to change to Best Buy or Home Depot, they start off around $9 and hour and regular working hours seems nice now 585722607[/snapback] people tip you? does anyone know what the starting pay is in california(cause we have a higher minimum wage than in the rest of the country, so im assuming its higher than 8 bucks)?
