Its retail so it is not going to be all that great of a job but retail beats fast food places by miles IMO.

Working for Best Buy is horrible...

Unless you're working with good people, chances are you're going to hate the place within two months.

Good luck with those online application, rarely do they ever call anyone back. Best chances of getting hired would be to actually go into the store and speak to the manager about open positions.

do they accept applications in store?

if so, i would recommend dressing up nicely (not a suit and tie, but slacks and a dress-y shirt would work) and dropping off a second resume in person, especially when the manager is in. if you can look good and get that application into his hands personally you'll stand a much better chance of getting the job than an anonymous person online.

not in the slightest. if you do get hired youll be seasonal which youll get fired in february. circuit city doesnt fire too many seasonals. we are also paid more, and have less restrictions on how we use our discounts. so no best buy isnt better by any stretch

Thankfully I never applied there the employees are a bunch of idiots. I had to wait 50 minutes just to exchange something because of a price tag error and there was about 8 free employees walking around and standing at customer service doing nothing.

What else would 8 employees be doing just standing around and can clearly see that I'm waiting in line with only 2 people?

Helping other customers?

I frequently have to go the returns area to ask specific people questions to resolve other issues for customers. And it would appear I was doing nothing while I waited for the person to become free.

No they weren't helping customer. If they were the two people infront of me would have been gone.

I used to work at Circuit City.

You'll love working retail for all of 10 minutes. I did it for almost 2 years.

I was going to apply at my local one because they have really good looking girls who work there with really nice asses under those tight khakis, but then I remembered that i'm kind of lazy and didn't bother.

Based on true events.

I saw Circuit City in a film today. One grossly overweight employee seemed like a nice guy. Based on that stereotype, you should work at Circuit City. :)

Eagle Eye eh?

Most TV guys are jolly. Circuit ****ty treats them better, since their products typically make the company money.

They just bleed money from the Tech department. They tend to be the miserable ones... like I was... *falls into a semi-comatose trance from the horrible memories of working there*
