Pros

easy to get into the field and learn things while you are getting paid. You can be hired as a technician with no absolutely experience.

Cons

This cons is for BestBuy, not Geek Squad. It is hard to see Geek Squad as a stand alone company, since they belongs to Bestbuy and at store level, it is just one small dept to sell services . No way to grow up within the company, if you are already experienced technician, unless giving up your specialty and moving your career to sales, since you are a part of small small and small sub-dept of big brick and mold sales company.and it is hard to expect job security. they always say 'don't worry about loosing your job.' so many times, but they can let you go at anytime with some package. No respect for experienced professional. some management even shows an attitude " your job is very easy and anyone can learn fairly quickly". They may believe that anyone can be easily replaceable with someone younger and cheaper.
