Pros

Get to learn the basics of battery technology on top of learning device repairs. Pay was also good,

Cons

Everything else. Depends on your store but my franchise was awful. The managers were never present at my store, and even when they were there they didn't do anything useful. I got told to cut my hair every other day for months until I had enough and finally did. Managers would often also bully customers for not knowing much about what they were there for. Would never recommend B+B!
