Anyone work at Circuit city ? I just got hired there in the games/computer section, and I was wondering what the starting pay is.

what's wrong w/ that? I always need to know what I'm making before I accept employment. I don't work for minimum wage, I can make more begging for changeh:

I used to work there. Down here in South Texas I got started off at $6/hr for Merchandising/Stock. Within 2 weeks I had taken like 5 different Learning Center modules and took all the tests and became a Product Specialist for TVs, VCRs, DVD players, Direct TV, Plasma, HDTV, the latest tech out for HDTV, surround sound, home audio, home theatre, etc...and got bumped to $8.25/hr. If I were you...do this. Become a product specialst...make good $$ for a college kid. I quit b/c they weren't too felxible with school schedule. Learn your computer too...lots of codes for different screens.

I currently work at best buy. CC is right across the street...

you're my worst enemy.



j/p, although customers come in and complain to me that cc sux dick, unhappy customers try to make me feel bad by telling me that they're going across the street. I make $9.00 an hour, and I'm non-comission (cuz BB is all non-comission). I expect u to make a little less than that, but the comission will build up if you do ur job right. But then again, the cost is more to live in Cali than here...so i dunno.

^^^i hope that this was in the early 90s:ugh: those wages are low. especially if youre in NYC^^^

around here, the peeps that work there are paid comission and hourly. my friend works there during peak season. he says he makes good money during late nov and all of dec. then jan comes and business goes down the shithole.
