Sweet! Got an interview at Circuit City tomm (UPDATE: Got the Job!)

[aphex]

Submitted the app online last night, got a callback this afternoon.... Talk about a fast turnaround.... I think i heard someone else on the forums mention they got called the next day as well...

Anyone know what the pay is? And any tips?

UPDATE:

Got the job!! Only thing that sucks is they dont have full-time right now, but i would get 30-35hrs per week.... They put me right into sales, which he said is very different from what they normally do...

Anyway, yea!

I heard there is commission, just not on everything like they used to. I believe pay is like $8 to start, and $10+ if you have experience...

Congrats, just be glad you're not working for the evil empire (BB).

I worked for the evil empire for a few months. It really wasn't that bad, customers just demand way too much which makes the employees insane.

Good luck, make sure to tell us how it went!

CC is very good with hiring... I got a call back the same day, but partly probably because I used to work there back in 98. For thoose who mentioned commision... its gone 100% there is none what so ever. Benefits are decent with full time, but even part time gets paid time off which isnt too common for part time. It's also 100% better then working for Best Buy. I don't know what pay is for someone with no experience at retail. I think CC overall is a much better company then BB in every way. BB offered me a position also after I took my job at CC and I said no.... there is way too much stress there.

former CC"er here also. wasn't a big fan of selling the warranty (i was in customer service too! my goal was like 1% a month)

but right when i left is when they started giving the PT'ers opportunity to earn time off. i miss my cc days. i miss my discount the most.

 

[AgaBoogaBoo]

How much discount did you guys get?

 

[kermalou]

isn't a pre-req for a job with CC/fry's etc. to be Indian?

Ya they typically dont have alot of full time slots... but if you want it theyll usually give you near full time hours as a part timer... only big thing you lose IMO is health insurance if you need it and you get about 1/4 the paid time off as a full timer. The discount is nice and the atmosphere is not too bad IMO, 10x better then BB to work for.

cool man you hame PM

I need part time cash...
