The customers are hostile at times and yell at line-levels who have no real say and are only following policy. Best Buy does not train employees to, well, not piss customers off. Store management at times can be very corrupt, with managers covering up for other managers who are stealing.
Employee Accommodation! 5% above cost. If you like car audio it is amazing as you will see 80% discounts! It is a good college job to get some toys that your friends can't afford yet.
