anyone ever worked there? i just got an interview, and it seems like it would be a pretty good place to work. looking to hear any advice/opinions

[gtikid]

I worked there 2 years ago. It was good 2 years ago. Place is a shit hole that's about to go down and burn forever now. They fired everyone who had more then 4 years of experience there, and all they have now are a bunch of new people. Place is gonna go out of business pretty soon. But the pay there is better than Best Buy's and it was more relaxed too. Well that's how it was 2 years ago

Lol, that sounds stupid. Why would they fire all of the people who had more than 4 years of experience. That's lame as hell...

they fired everyone who made over a certain amount for they're postion. (the institued a salray cap for each postion, except for installer) even the department managers were released. And he is right it is a shit hole now. I was an installer there 1.5 years ago, for 2 years. It was great when I started, then it went down hill. Honestly I don't think it's worth working there, but to each their own.

[ksinao]

well damn. i need a job so fuck it

[JDM onlyy]

well damn. i need a job so fuck it

Lol, cool I applied there too. Did you quit QT?

[ksinao]

yeah, i moved to texas and was forced to quit. i had an interview with the dallas division of QT today though, so hopefully ill get both jobs. thats what im shooting for.

[THATdude]

place is a shit hole. my mom worked there 20 years and had friends who had been there 30+ years and they fired them because they made more than the new salary cap they imposed and now there are nothing but dumb ass kidds working there. just try going in and getting help with something and listen to the stupid responses u get.circuit city

[myyellowspec]

I worked there a year ago as an installer and it was fun. BUT they did fire everyone I used to work with because they made too much now there are two installers at the barrett location which is one of the busiest locations in the nation, how fucked up is that. g/l though.

Well, when you moved couldn't you just ask them to transfer you to one of the Texas QT's?

[ksinao]

thats what i did. but i still had to go through the interview process and what not. they are waiting now on my file to be faxed over from the ATL division

[ksinao]

i hear what y'all are saying, and thats shitty. but im looking for a decent paying job to give me sales experience right now, and i think it will suit me fine for the time being.

Oh, that's weird. Cool though. Hope you get re-hired. Lol

Yeah, I need something in sales experience too and looking for a decent paying job...need to catch up to my ex girlfriend..just bought herself a SI sedan today and her family is buying a S2000 too....NEED a good job to catch up to her. Lol

[gtikid]

*slowly sneaks back out of thread*

well I work there now and have for the past 2 years off and on...I was on a leave of absence when the shit hit the fan, but they fired some great people

and to correct the salary cap statements above...even installers were included in the salary cap because one of the most experienced installers i've met was fired for being above the cap.

The company is turning around as there are still experienced people there...they didn't just fire people because they were above the cap. They were offered salaries at the cap or offered different jobs if they had any sort of experience/time with the company...at that point, no matter how messed up it was, it was the employee's choice to leave.

Also, a lot of people lost their jobs due to the fact that the company simply cut their position all together. We had a brand new S&I manager @ the barrett parkway location who had worked there in various positions for a number of years, but he got fired after only a few months in that position because the sales and installation manager position was dropped entirely.

I'm in no way defending what they did because they dropped my ass back down to starting pay even though I was only on a leave of absence, but overall the company is more relaxed now and there is still good money to be made in certain positions, but in case you are looking for an installer job...the shop at barrett parkway is looking because all of us are leaving soon for better paying jobs lol

[1zach4]

oh yeah Tom...there are a few of us now @ barrett lol
