Best Buy Canada (and I believe in the US as well) has implemented a results-based employment system. Meaning, you can roll in at 6 am or noon instead of 8:30 if you want, and leave at 2 pm or midnight or take 3 hour lunch breaks, whatever suits you. As long as you get the job done, you can work the hours of your choosing. I think they also let a lot of staff work from home. My fiance's still in touch with a lot of friends from there and they say that everyone's so much happier since this started. They're also more efficient with their time because they get to work during their most productive hours, so most of them work fewer hours now too.

Granted I'm a writer/editor, but still. I love that about them. And the good pay, too. When I’ve temped at the ’soft, they’ve always let me work from home a bit and make my own hours.

All this, and they give me full benefits!
