I do not believe that this is the official Tweeter site. When you type www.tweeter.com you cannot get to their site. If you type tweeter.com you get the above site.

I am guessing that a former employee bought the domain name tweeter.com and this will stick around.

It was indeed up on the official Tweeter web site for a couple of hours, but the whole site has now been shut down.

LXIX, dude!!
www.tweeter.com and tweeter.com are exactly the same thing.

Awesome. I was part of this tweeter problem and I am happy to see anything bad happen to them.

It couldn't happen to a nicer company. I worked there for a year and never met a more unlikeable bunch. Houston - Katy store.

I was a faithful employee of the Florida-based chain, Sound Advice, long before it was purchased by Tweeter. I believed in Sound Advice, and the principals for which it stood. Prior to our purchase by Tweeter, we were considered "a notch above the rest". I believed. We delt in upper-mid to high end a/v, and our clientel recognized that we could not compete with the big box retailers--nor did they expect us to. I believed.Naturally, we couldn't compete with the big-box, but WE DIDN'T HAVE TOO!! I still believed. Our customers had come to expect a superior level of service that extended from the moment they shook hands with an associate to the moment they happily shook hands with the technician leaving their home. Yes, I continued to believe. Then we were bought by Tweeter, and everything changed. Suddenly, our consumer playground stores were shut down, and our high-end audio was gone (remember the days of B&O, B&W, just to name a couple). We were told that the company was going to inherit the Sound Advice model and that things would get even better. We would continue to grow as a company ("ONE company, ONE way" was the catch phrase bs-jargon of the hour) and all other acquisitions would follow this model. I believed. Three years ago I moved to Georgia, believing I was working for a value-based company--in general, doing the right thing by it's customers AND it's employees. God, was I WRONG. Those of us on the lower rungs of the totem pole have worked our proverbial butts off to uphold a paper mache guise of integrity, while those that sit atop are collecting their bonuses and laughing all the way to the bank. Generally, it was the custom installers and sales associates that tried their best to adhere to the standards set forth by those promoted from the ranks--day in, day out, those who believed in the integrity that this company was once-upon-a-time based upon. Don't be mistaken, I am NOT speaking of the executives who have run this company (into the ground, BTW). No, I'm talkin' bout the men that worked their way up...that guy that worked in the warehouse, then on delivery, then as an apprentice, then as crew chief--his van was even on the cover of the advancement books-- then to field supervisor (yes, DW, I'm talkin bout you). Or the guy who hired me, gave me a chance, who had been a sales associate, then a GM, then a director of install for SA. Thank you, D.T., for having faith in me. Funny thing is, it was these guys and all the people like us doing the real work while the execs reap the benefits. You know, those guys that have all the strategies that school could teach them but have never spent a day in the field. To all of our clients who have believed in our company, our associates, and me, I am truly sorry. I know you lost money on down payments, gift cards, equipment brought in for service that you entrusted to us but will never be returned. I know you put a huge down payment on the system that your husband always wanted but never will receive. I've heard the stories, your stories, and I..we...are so sorry. Those of us trying to take care of you-to make things right- we did what we could, but it was not enough. Let me urge any consumer to take note of the names of those who recently "ran" the company, and exercise caution when purchasing from the bailouts to which they will move on. Of course, those in the upper echelon will certainly disagee with my statements but hey, what do I know, I'm ONLY an installer, right?

I am (was) a installer from Arizona. I agree with Dave C. completely. I am not sure how it went down in Florida. Here in Arizona not only did they screw their customers, the way they treated their employees espeacilly the few of us that stuck through the first bankruptcy was very under-handed.

We have yet to be told whether we will get paid for our last week of work before they abruptly shut the doors 5 days earlier than they were supposed to not to mention the vacation hours. I have about $1800 owed to me by Tweeter, and I have noone to call if I never get it, and everyone else is in the same boat. We've all known that Tweeter was going out of business for a while, but we all expected we would go down with some integrity instead of screwing over everyone involved. RIP Sound Advice. It's really too bad a horribly managed company like Tweeter had to run us into the ground.

Hey guys, so sorry to hear what you went through. Nantucket Sound, New England Stereo, and now Tweeter. I worked for all 3. I was Seekonk MA. Tweeter screwed everybody on their way out. Its like "

I hope Schultze's entire company goes belly up. Once he paid Wells Fargo the loan, he ran as quick as he could with his tail between his legs. He tried to get away without paying money owed to employees. While we figure out how to make the next mortgage payment, he's looking for yet another company in trouble. If Schultze Asset (lack of) Management Co. buys the company you work for, get out as quick as you can.

Now that's Sound Advice!

I was a manager for the St Peterburg store years ago. I currently am looking for an employee list of some kind for current and past sales and managers. Our Firm in tampa is expanding and want to talk to those in need of a solid career. Does anyone have access to names and numbers. You can send them to white33707@yahoo.com.

Well said David C...The people who should pay particular heed to all the heart-wrenching comments from former Tweeter employees are the owners, executives and managers of all the retail operations whose business model and ethics resonate with those of Tweeter's. As a sales representative who benefitted for years from the hard work of the Tweeter cadre, I am truly sorry to see what has happened. Our appreciation, thoughts and prayers are with you all, especially over the Chrismas Holiday.

Merry Christmas my fellow Tweeter De-Hires. I guess we were all filtered at one time or another. I hopr this post finds all of you safe and futh this fine morning.

I worked with the company Tweeter in Greensboro, NC. I left last year because all the things we where hearing in the rumor mill (which turned out to be true). Tweeter slowly begin to down grade products and reduce commission which made us no different than the big box stores. There was a time you could make a very could living and be proud of the products you sold, all of that went out of the window. Employees begin to struggle financially and sell inferior products. I remember B&O and B&W that someone mentioned in a previous blog. I ran the car audio departments and was having a blast until they begin to slip that crap they called product underneath our noses. I'm praying for those who couldn't get away fast enough and just say remember what you learned because it will help in the future. I am now a WELL compensated banker all from the sales skills I learned at Tweeter and for that I say thank you tweeter!!

Are any Tweeter stores still open? I brought a tv from them last year and also an extended warranty. I should would like to get in touch with someone so they can honor the warranty.

Any ideas?

PS

I worked for tweetie once.. then they closed my store, so, we aSTOLE EVERYTHING we could, guess the owners had he same idea....

ps if you purchased a warranty it will still be honored but you need to contact the extended warranty company directly. If you purchesed it before 2006 it is probably with a company by the name of AON they also go by the warranty group. The telephone number is 1-866-266-1909. If purchased after it will be with a company by the name of Service Net. I am not sure of the number off of the top of my head but i am sure you can find something on the internet.

The new version of tweeter has bugs. It won't show the actual link, forcing you to open immediately. and it just dumped a bunch of code into a new tweet. I want to go back to the previous version.
