I've been with Best Buy since June of 1995. Great company. I started out on the retail end like most of you, then I got my electronics degree and since 1998 I've been working at the regional service center.

If you give the company a chance and work hard, you will be rewarded. Trust me. I started making $5.75/hr out of high school, when the stock was worth about $8.00/share..... it was so cheap, even I could actually afford it then.

Eleven years and four splits later, it's worth $53.50 (last I checked yesterday), paying dividends, the company is opening stores in China and Europe, and I make more money than some people I know with a 4 year bachelors degree.

Moral of the story: be patient and work hard. Once you work through some BS that, quite frankly, every company has at entry levels, if you keep with it you will be glad you did. If you learn everything about the sales end you possibly can, keep a positive attitude, perform at or above expectations, you will move up and into very lucrative positions.
