Pros

-Get to work around great, new technology -Coworkers within the precinct are oftentimes fun to be around -Pay isn't terrible -Reasonably flexible on hours (not on time off though) -Uniforms and all that is paid for -The employee discount is worth dealing with a lot

Cons

-Time off is hard to get, as most precincts are understaffed -Management never stands up for Geek Squad (the Geek Squad supervisor is under all managers) -Limited on what hardware problems you can fix in store -People only come to you when they are upset because their devices are broken -Full time spots are VERY hard to come by, with even the largest precincts having only a few -Mostly a retail position: most of the work is done remotely, you do mostly sales.
