Nightshade Posted December 21, 2008 Report Share Posted December 21, 2008 How much professional experience do you have? Also I wouldn't expect much since CC is closing a bunch of stores and cutting back hours for employees. Not to mention that it's CC and not a custom audio shop. I worked for Best Buy at one point and was only making $12.57 an hour. I left there for a custom shop and $17.00 and hour.

Zade08 Posted December 21, 2008 Report Share Posted December 21, 2008 (edited) I would say thats about right. I wouldnt work for no less then about 3.50 over minimum. Installation is someting I like though so it may be different from person to person. EDIT: Also CC is who told me around 9.50. So that should give you something to go by.

I would be pissed after i get hired and then they shut down. Might as well as get pissed now. CC+bankruptcy+bad economy+bad Christmas sales due to the ecomony= LOTS of closures after Jan release of 4th quarter sales (or lack there of) Just a guess though I'd take the job though...a job now is better than no job at all, plus you'll stay on for a while until they do close shop and then you have the install exp.
