What would you call a place which had a remarkably reasonable cost of living, low unemployment, sites of historic interest dating back to the first European settlers, and an active cultural community? You'd call it Richmond, Virginia. Richmond combines the hospitality of the south with the sophisticated sensibilities of any urban city. We have lots to see and do in Richmond.

Want unlimited opportunities?

Circuit City is a place where you can put your talents and abilities to the test daily in one of our many diverse departments. A place where you will use your creativity, skills and abilities to complete important projects by working independently and as a team. With our continuous training, you will be given as much responsibility as you are willing to take on in order to help expand your knowledge and career. It’s time to use your ideas. Your opportunities are endless at Circuit City.

Circuit City is a place where everyone is included and valued for their contributions to the company. In fact, respecting our Associates is one of our values—it's the way we run our business. A diverse population of Associates provides us with the widest range of insights. This, in turn, gives us the competitive edge in the marketplace. We are looking for knowledgeable men and women to work at our company; people of all races, national origins, ages, religions, educational levels, and physical capabilities are encouraged to apply. For example—Circuit City has a number of Associates living with disabilities. Facing life with a disability can be a challenge in a world where disabilities are often misunderstood. Finding an employer that understands your needs can be even more difficult. We have a history of understanding and working with persons living with disabilities. Our experience has shown that the real disability is the ignorance of others about one’s abilities. In a recent discussion with Scott White, one of our Information Systems Associates living with total blindness, he shared this:

"At the time of hire Circuit City asked, What special equipment did I need to effectively perform my job? I told them what I needed and why I needed it. They quickly obtained the required equipment and I was off and running in my new career. Since then it has been my experience that my managers have done what it takes to accommodate my disability. I have always felt that Circuit City has placed the focus on my skills rather than my disability."

As we have grown to 600 stores nationwide, we have created policies to make Circuit City a great place to work for every Associate. Here are just a few things we do to help provide opportunities for every Associate.

  • Associate respect philosophy
  • Harassment-free work environment
  • Open Door Policy
  • Provide adaptive technologies to people with disabilities
  • Individualized Development Programs tailored to each Associate's career goals
  • Electronic job posting
