Well, considering the quality work most CC stores do on their installs, you shouldn't have to know much... My friend had an alarm system installed there. They screwed it up a total of 4 times before they got it right... |

Gold Member Username: JmloughreyFarmington, CT Post Number: 1435 Registered: Jul-04 | "how much will you be making? or is it commision?" I beleive i start at $11.50 an hour plus tips. Talking to my friend he said he'll make about 200 a week in tips on just HU installs. The CC is in a pretty weathly area where people throw money around like its monkey's throwing poo. |

Silver Member Username: Iufan4lifeulPost Number: 977 Registered: May-05 | I worked and will be working again soon as a car audio salesman at Circuit City. Great environment and great store. I know it isn't the greatest products but MTX, Pioneer, Infinity, and Kicker all have at least decent stuff. Plus, at least the one I worked at, the install guys were really knowledgable. |

Gold Member Username: JmloughreyFarmington, CT Post Number: 1438 Registered: Jul-04 | i love how i ask a question and then it turns into bad experiences people had at this place. I couldn't give a damnut your experiences, i asked if theres anything i should know. Everyone has a bad experience somewhere, if you can make it through life without a bad experience you are either mis-informed or you dont get out much. I couldn't care less if they blew up your car. You should be happy enough they were kind eough to tell you they fucked something up... |

Silver Member Username: Safe_crackerChicago, IL US Post Number: 347 Registered: Jan-06 | Jeff, any and all of the store installers SVCK nasty donkey balls! Maybe you can make a difference by going there but one thing, if you go to find another job, DO NOT put down that you worked there, think of it as a free experence. Polo.. |

Gold Member Username: LexuscoopPost Number: 1016 Registered: Dec-05 | if anything, being a gold member on ecoustics would make him over qualliified. if you tell him about ecoustics, maybe say your a mid silver (500 posts) so they don't get shown up by a rooky. keep inmind like tyler said, you have LOTS of room for error so maybe do that for a little while lol. |

Silver Member Username: Iufan4lifeulPost Number: 978 Registered: May-05 | The circuit city I worked at the installers didn't get tips. And avalanche. Just because those people know more than you doesn't mean you can trash talk them. Seriously though, the CC I worked at. I had at least 3 or 4 people that had dealt with RE, ID, Eclipse, etc. They weren't stupid. Sure, some people that work there are retarded because it is easy to get a job. My point is, the one I worked at all had knowledgeable staffing. If you want to B!itch go right ahead. |
|
Silver Member Username: Safe_crackerChicago, IL US Post Number: 349 Registered: Jan-06 | Chris maybe for the fact that you are not a gold member that would be the reason you thought they were knowledgeable? I can't say anything because I have a long way to go but I have double the years/experience on you but maybe if we keep trash talking here we can get closer to knowing all, GOLD BABY, LOL..Polo..  |

Silver Member Username: Iufan4lifeulPost Number: 987 Registered: May-05 | First off, there is no good custom car audio store around. The only one sells Sony, Kicker, Alpine, and a little memphis. I would rather work at CC and sell Kicker, MTX, Infinity, Pioneer. Also, I have to have something called a job. It was a good job, low stress, that paid $9.00 starting. I also got all my kicker amplifiers and wiring for %80 off. I actually have to work my butt off to make money. If I could work with RE, AA, Eclipse, DLS, etc. all day long I would, but I can't. Therefore the next best thing is Circuit City. And since you have never visited the store then you can't say sh!t. Plus, I feel like I bring even more knowledge to the store. If people who are smart about that stuff don't work there, then it will never be properly staffed. |
