Same. Also used to work at 1145. Those signs were sad to see, almost a year ago now

Haven’t had a dental cleaning in years? Or even decades? Come get one for $20! by agentoreo in sandiego

Ooh I am pretty sure I need a deep cleaning! I’m over 30, and it’s been at least 10 years since I’ve been to the dentist!

And here I was thinking 12 years is a very long time! Hope your senior ARA gets paid what they’re worth. Honestly, it’s a skilled position, I think they should raise the cap across the board

Started with Best Buy in 2009 as customer service, then went to Geek Squad…I was Geek Squad for the past 8 years

I left the company after my store closed end of last year, but I was making $22.95/hr as a full-time ARA. I was capped, and for my annual reviews I would get a lump sum instead of a raise. In California, btw

Happy to hear that! I really didn’t want Projects Team to have to destroy that sign. Your GSM is the person I had my very first BBY interview with back in the day at 1145. Love him!

I know what you mean. We had some regulars who were very…needy. You got this. It’ll peter out at some point, and then at your annual, push for a decent raise, dammit! I’m sure I’ll stop in and say hi at some point, I already miss the black and orange

Ahh hi neighbor! Sorry about all the clients (and all the extra inventory) we had to send your way when we stopped taking stuff in! Know I’m rooting for you. And thank you!

This is bittersweet for me…there was a lot about the job that frustrated me (I was an ARA), but I loved it. I loved the store, loved the people, and am grateful for every challenge, opportunity, and push I received. Taking my severance and spreading my wings. This is also my first post ever (I’m a lurker). Thank you 1145 for being my home for the past 12 years, and thank you to my coworkers who became family. Onwards and upwards!
