what happened to roadshop?

I got hired many years ago, and the process was much harder.  They played games with me for a few weeks.  Go talk to this manager here, go talk to this guy there.  One time I showed up to interview (5 minutes early of course) and the manager had me wait for 15 mintues then sent me home because he didn't have time to talk to me.

Then, one of the managers asked me if I had any work done to my car so I popped my trunk.  He was impressed and I finally got a job offer.

However, before they offered me the job they made sure I knew that I had approximately 6 weeks to have a full set of tools.

They will still maintain a high profit margin though with their purchase power.

I remember a few years back we were selling DEI remote starts (552T I believe) for cheaper then one local shop could purchase them from DEI.  That makes it very hard for small shops to compete.

For the record, I completely disagree with the way Circuit City runs their business.  I don't agree with letting the experianced people go so they can save labor dollars.  If anything, in the long run this will be their downfall.

I ran the #1 rs garage (assit S&I)in district till a couple months ago, with the firing of the top paided people in may, the firing of most s&i s in the nation the idiots at corp started the demise of the roadshop. when i was promoted??( take postion or quit) to isup i had to not only run my garage but the sales floor also and do open close procedures, mod, floor manger, 288 and everthing else the sales mng had to do. i saw numbers start to drop then thay slashed hours no OT no cust service.have seen the numbers since i left and have talked to people still there they cant even hit 75% budget because there are NO customers in the store anymore, CC and RS are going down the hill on the way to hell
