ATOT: Which retail job should i take....

[The Stigenator]

Evidently I am UBER GEEK that i got a position at Fry's electronics and at Best Buy.

I need something for the summer and maybe in teh fall, cause i graduate december and then i plan to go work for a private company.

All this is dependent on the pending drug test. Both are in teh same location - i got to go do those today.

Fry's is paying me 8/hr
BB is paying me 9.25/hr (is this what their avg is?)

Fry's has that requirement of tie and white shirt, dress pants and shoes
BB has the blue tee + khakis

So far its 2 pts for BB.

So why should i work for frys/ Should i even not do the drug test for fry's, cause i know i will pass. I am not good in 'denying' one place for another. Logical solution is to do both drug tests and then deny fry's electronics.

Whatdya say?

What about purchasing discounts/benefits?

 

[fbrdphreak]

BB is paying $9.25? I guess that's just due to CA's higher living costs, they wouldn't pay anyone that much starting out here.

BB does have a nice employee discount, cost+5% which kicks in after 30 days. Use it to your advantage 😀

If they both offered you guaranteed positions, don't bother with the frys test.

My retail experience includes, CompUSA, Sears, Circuit City. After a few of them you realize they are all the same. However, Circuit City was a hell of a lot more organized than comp or sears. Never worked for the two you mentioned but I would go for the higher pay rate. If you don't like working there than quit. Check the employee bonuses out if any and add that to your thought process.

so BB it is.. forget the fry's drug test then eh.

though logic dictates give test for both.

i worked at bb before and i would never work there again ever. horrible horrible job. they dont treat employees well at all and make you work a lot later than your schedule says if a truck comes in. i'm talking my schedule would say 9:45pm and I would be there past midnight helping unload the truck.

and i cant comment on how bad they treat their employees. i worked there for 1 reason - to get a discount, which took 30 days. lets just say i quit on my 31st day ... (and saved $1800)
