      Pros

      The discount is nice. Great place to see and learn about new electronics and gadgets. Co-workers generally have a good time together in after work hours. The Geek Squad is a good stepping stone for people headed to IT career fields.

      Cons

      Scheduling was never done as promised and interferes with personal life and free time. Early morning meetings are rarely effective as most employees are either still sleeping, drunk, or pissed off. Enforcement of company policy is spotty at best amongst different stores and supervisors. They are terrible at retaining and hiring competent Geek Squad employee's and most Agents feel over worked. And don't have enough time to get the work done.

      Pros

      It's a lot of fun if you get to know the right people. Great job while you're in school because it pays better than most similar jobs and requires little to no effort at all.

      Cons

      Standing on your feet 8-10 hours a day is not fun, but other than that, I guess dealing with extremely old and angry people is the worst part.

      Pros

      There is decent pay, spend much of the time looking at people's computers and diagnosing the problems. It is relatively simple if you know what problems there are. Because we get paid by hour, there is usually time to relax during early hours when there isnt much people at the store. The store is also has air conditioning and also there are employee discounts mostly on best buy branded products.

      Cons

      Sometimes there are very annoying people to deal with. They would not ask for help because they think they know more than you. There are also other who would never buy anything for the price it is worth.
