With the cost of everything going up I would go with Home Depot. People are more inclined to spend money on their house before going to buy that new toy. Plus I heard that HD has some good growth for employees.

I know people who work, and have worked at both for a while and in my opinion Home Depot would be better in the long run. From what I'v seen best buy is one of those companies that puts up like there good when they hire you then start to fade fast once you've been there for a while.
I would go to the Best Buy interview and check it out. Look at the pay rate, the hours, the benefits, how easy it is to get to from your home, how well you like the neighborhood the store's in, get a general impression. How could it hurt? You might find out, for example, there's a great sandwich shop in the same strip center as the Best Buy. I was going to say "a great cigar store" but that might not be such a good thing from a financial point of view. Anyway, life's all about choices. The more choices you have the better. I believe in exploring all my options.
P.S. and congratulations on the new job.![]()

I would take the Home Depot job and see what kind of part-time hours BB has.

I'd go with Best Buy. I think Home Depot is a lousy company amd doesn't treat their employees very well.

GO with the company that will ofeer you and (your family the most)
Always look at benefits. and other goodies .
Getting paid 1 dollar more at a place with lesser benefits isnt always the smartest move.
Pay rate
Benefits
closest to home (with the current gas prices)
hours (flexible hours if available)
chance for advancement
etc etc..
Glad to see you working again!!
NOW We need to have a celebritory herf.. GEORGE???you in?
well lets see,Originally Posted by alexgtp
as far as benefits go, i don't really need them. my wife gets really good insurance through her work. one benefit that is looking really good for the HD job is that i can get discount on home improvement things. the mobile home we just bought is from 1966 so it needs some major TLC. other than that, i just need hours. the hours seem a little screwy though so far they don't have me working past 11pm. HD is closer to me. and i'm not looking for either of these to be a career for me so i'm not to worried about advancement.
i'll know more tomorrow. i'll let you all know asap.
i could be up for another one as long as its after i get paid so i can bring some smokes in to share.Originally Posted by alexgtp

Chris - which Home Depot/Best Buy - Gurnee???
well i am going to the interview tomorrow for Best Buy. i'm not sure how much they pay. Home Depot pays 8.75 an hour plus a .50 raise after 90 days. there is a cigar shop near both of them so that's not really a problem. another thing, the home depot job is part time (about 30 hrs) and i'm not sure how many hours i would get with best buy. i'll let you tomorrow.
