best buy employee discount?

[radioboy]

I'm applying for a job at Best Buy... I know it's not a major factor but do they offer an employee discount?

[episode]

Yes.

[random] hehehe, a staff discount at the $2 shop, lol :D [/random] i was accepted for a job a few months after they changed the staff discount policy, staff a few months before i was employed got items at the retail buying price thing + 10%, it was heeeaps cheap, now its 10% off things :( oh well

EDIT: that wasnt at best buys though

[cesardrgn]

I think they give you a 10%...

i work at WHSmiths, i get 25%!

im only 16 btw

[ahfunaki]

I work at Blockbuster video and I get 20% anything I want to buy ( other than electroncs ie: ps2, xbox, gamecube...I really wish I got discounts on those tho :yes:)

And I also get 5 free game/movie rentals a week...

Not too bad...

I know someone that works at circuit city and I think they just get things at cost...

[arsekicker]

I have had friends that work at Best Buy and you should get everything at cost.

[Eleazer]

I worked at Best Buy for close to two years. The discount starts after 30 days of employment and is store cost plus 10%.

I know my friend that works at Best Buy gets like 10%. He's quitting soon though.

Where I work, we get what the store pays for, plus 13%. I work at Osco, if anyone has heard of it, it's not that much very known elsewhere expect in Illinois and some other states, like Indiana. Doesn't have stores elsewhere is basically why. Albertsons owns Osco. Hmmm, we have Liquor (the department I've been working in since Nov02) and also Camera, Pharmacy, School/Auto, Cosmetics, Baby, Seasonal, some other things and Hallmark (which is going to be soon American Greetings which sucks, they switch when the contact is up, so after AG, it will be back to Hallmark). Basically all I really ever get discounts is either Liquor, stuff from the school aisle, like CDR's (I pay I think it was $12 for a 50 pack.. :p 40x or 48x, I forget) not bad.

I believe its at cost

[CatnipOligarchy]

ive been wanting to apply at best buy too...does anyone know how old you have to be to work there?

[+StevoFC MVC]

i'm pretty sure 18

i know tons of people who work there. and like others have said it's 10% over cost.

[Iluvatar]

I work there now, the discount is products at cost plus 5%. It works out great on some products but ****ty on others. And I guess it really depends on the state that you work in to determine how old you must be. I know at this BestBuy we have people that are only 16 working.

yeah things like speakers and all are almost half price for workers, i got a $300 sub for my room for $190 with the discount

[CatnipOligarchy]

I know at this BestBuy we have people that are only 16 working.

i hope so...im 17...circuit city hires at 17 but i would rather work at best buy...im working as a telemarketer right now...so if i could get on at best buy it would be great

[episode]

Only one person was correct in this entire thread about the discount and BBY's hiring policy. I would have told you right away, but I am hesitant with my position and the fact that they are paying for my school.

I'm 17. Got an interview Friday for repairs and sales in PCs.
