That is hilarious, because BBY IT is basically two different IT departments (brick/mortar and dotcom) and they HATE EACH OTHER.
At the C-level, the brick/mortar IT group was more influential/ingrained/in-power, despite their absolutely idiotic outmoded IT management policies.
Since I've left, they still are doing financially ok, but it just seems like a company where suddenly the floor will fall out. Their stores just sell floor space to vendors who staff it with their own people IIRC.
That said, they're the last electronics retailer you can drive to, and we need _some_ competition to Amazon.
