    Any former Best Buy employees on here (or anyone that knows the following question)? If so, how much do Sales Associates get paid an hour? I'm currently a college student and I have my final interview with the company in a few weeks. And, I was just wondering because another job opportunity just popped up for me.

    Thanks in advance.

    I know a couple of people who worked at Best Buy. Sorry I don't know how much they made, but what I do know is they didn't work at Best Buy for the money...they worked there for the employee discounts.

    discounts > payments

    Ofcourse, you could get everything for even cheaper online. ;)

    Don't do it man. My old roommate worked there. You spend way more than you earn.

    Depends on experience, but starts around 7/hr (this is based on info from a few years ago) and no commission.

    It has always seemed to me that its hard to get hired by Best Buy. Ive had friends apply before and even myself, and never got an interview....

    I made $7.50 when I worked there a couple years ago. The discounts were pretty good depending on what you want to buy.

    I worked at CC when I went to college. I made 20-35 dollars an hour depending on the season. It was one of the easiest jobs I ever had. I taught people how to take advantage of the extended warranty and got paid for it.
