    well eric, didnt i tell you BB= sux
    thats not always the case you know if ur needing a secure job and what not.

    Fry's isn't corporate like best buy, they can fire/hire your ass no questions asked. Best buy on the other hand has policies to abide by. So say the manager doesnt like you, you're gone. Oh yeah one of my close homeboys is the supervisor of the computer department... let me know if I can help you along.

    I have A LOT of friends that work at Fry's and they seem to love it. Their pay is awesome b/c it's commission and a lot of people go there. So you will make a lot of money, especially if during the holidays. I had a friend who was a cashier there and was making an average of $14/hr.

    Now, NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER work at Best Buy. I do not know how much i can stress that. I don't recommend anyone working at Best Buy. I guarantee you that will be the shittiest job you will ever have, plus the pay sucks big elephant balls.

    Circuit City, pays A LOT better than Best Buy, BUT, Circuit City is pretty much trying to copy EVERYTHING from Best Buy. You have no idea how much CC tries to be like BB.

    I've worked at CC and BB. I liked CC a lot more

    FUCK GRAN TURISMO EAST!! NEVER TAKE YOUR CAR THERE, ESPECIALLY NOT FOR AN ALIGNMENT!! TERRIBLE BUSINESS!!

    We're in Georgia. You can get fired for any reason at all ANYWHERE. It's the law

    really? I thought it had to be on the list of "reasons to fire" and shit... like if u get written up 3 times for the same thing. If you just straight up suck, they want to fire you, but can't so then they'll write you up on stupid shit and stupid shit til you get fired.... Thats just from what I heard when I worked there... they talked MAD shit about the differences of Best Buy and Fry's when Fry's was about to open up... even so mad people went over to frys and are still there....
    Just wonderin, Tuan are you a senior yet?

    Nope. In Ga you can be fired at will, it is in the application you fill out for employment(the part that says you or the employer can terminate employment at any time without prior notification). Some companies have their own policies that may involve steps of discipline prior to termination, but they are not required to have those policies.
