currently working at the new store 3587 in Bethlehem PA . I also dont forget who open the doors to me to this wonderful career. It may not be the best shop to work for but I have gather the knowledge to to do just about any install in any vehicle. If after this post I get blacklisted then so be it. But if I can help another installer achive his/her goal in this business than thats all it matters. I was born in the roadshop and will die in the roadshop. This is my calling

You mean they actually made you wear those red ones? I wore one for about a week or so, even washing it multiple times on my days off over the normal cleaning couldn't get the stains out. The only thing good about them is they dont show the salt as much as black do, but at least the black hide everything else.

I work at 3708, York PA. I really like it there, don't know why anyone would be ashamed. You learn alot while working there and it's really not a bad job at all.

Even though it isn't the most glamorous job. I've never partied as hard or as much as when I was an installer for CC Fresno. I think I havent picked up as many chicks either. Even when I moved down to work at a CC in the Long Beach area I had to show them what alcohol was. When I wanna have a good time all I have to do is call up my old crew and wait for them to shut down the shop, then it's off to the bar. ------------- Tell the Snap-On guy I'm not here!

Part time installer at 4502 Lewisville, TX. Full time EE student. Best job I've ever had as far as college jobs go. I'm tempted to go full time once I graduate. Probably won't make as much as I could with an engineering job, but I don't know if I can stay away from working with my hands. I know alot of you bash the big box stores, but I know that I never would have had the opportunity to start in this industry were it not for the position I have at CC.

Yeah we all wear red shirts. It sucks big time! I have like 15 red shirts and more than half of them I dont even bother to wear because of all the stains.

Yeah I love my job. We have an awesome crew so work days are loads of fun. We are typically busy as $hit and we just crank up the tunes and goto town. I worked at BB before CC and there is no comparison between the two. I have learned so much more working at CC. And you gotta love the accomidations :)

No longer but I did work at 464 in Laguna Hills California for about 2 years. I have been and still am in hte industry for about 11 years total I have to say Circuit City was truely the worst place I have ever worked. If you know what you are doing than go out and work at a real shop the money is way better and you dont have to deal with the corporate BS. How long till you get sick of hearing another deck and 2 comin around.

im an independant installer, 14 years, and when bb and cc sends you their own customers something must be wrong. with liabilities ranging in car fires, punctured gas tanks, and damaged panels, no wonder i always have work. anybody can pass the mecp program but that doesnt mean you can tear a car apart, do a proper install, and put it back together without any damage.thats the differance between a custom install and an off the shelf install. ------------- gcorrea

Worked at 3209 (I think) in Kansas City MO-now closed, for about a 1yr and change back in 1993-1995 and loved it. Worked with 2 guys I went to highschool with and an aging hippy that thought we were 21, trust me we never let on we were all only 19. What a fun place, wish I'd have stayed with install/sales of car audio maybe I wouldn't be in telecom hell now. :D
