Anyone work at Circuit City?

[dkmesa 10+ year member]

I'm applying for a job at Circuit City online. I need to know what a Roadshop Product Specialist is and CircuitCity.com is temporarily down so I can't look it up. Is that what they call the car audio salesmen?

yes the roadshop product specialist is a salesperson and the installers are called roadshop install specialists. real creative names huh?

Apply for product specialist and then in your interview ask if they are looking for installers. You'll probably hate sales... i know i did when I worked it.

i hated sales. installers for teh win.

but, if your bosses **** and your store (like all others do im sure) runs a skeleton crew with JUST enough employees to cover each week, you have to get people to cover your lunches every day and you bust your *** to earn bonus.

its definatly not as cracked up as its made out to be //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

Break? What is that?

Haven't taken a break in months. Work 5 days a week, 3 of them are 11-9 shifts. We rarely have 2 installers in at the same time...I'd say 90% of the time I'm there I'm the only installer.

Our budgets aren't that crazy though, around $300 for a weekday/Sunday and around $500 on Saturday.

Wow.

Since our Assistant manager quit, and my boss didn't find anyone by the end of the month... corporate cut 40hours from him for june... unless he finds an Assistant Installation manager. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

We have 2people around usually all mid-day during the week. One person opens, two people close most of the time.

Our budgets are consistenly above $400 in the week... upwards of $650-$750 weekends.... (Fri/Sat)...

We're a big location, but don't have much traffic. We're REALLY good at squeezing more money out of installs...we charge for EVERYTHING, it's what we have to do to make budget. We also have the biggest shop on Long Island...//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

But there are 2 FT/1PT installers, 2 PT sales, an S&I and an assistant S&I

Install is budgeted for around 120 hrs/week...we use around 90/wk (they changed the bonus structure for S&I's so they get more bonus for coming in under budget hours).

Wow. We have been about -9hours for the past few weeks. We have 3FT and 1PT installer at the moment... but one of the FT guys just accepted the assistant S&I position. Supposedly they might hire another PT installer, but that might now take place until I go back to school //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif.

We had a HORRIBLE month last month, shop ended up @96%... my pph was horrible //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif. Sucks too, b/c April we were ~130%...
