Pros

For retail it's decent, but it's still retail. If you can stick it out and get a Full Time spot, the benefits are very good. I would say this is the best possible job you could have while going to college.

Cons

Most IT companies do not look at Geek Squad as relevant job experience. You would think that you are there to work on computers, or at least give advice. However, your position will constantly be abused to sell computers on the sales floor, sell tv's, sell CD's, or be a glorified cashier. If you just want a paycheck, it's fine. If you want to have any passion about your job and not be left frustrated, look elsewhere.
