Pros

-Training for cell phone repair on the job -Quick onboarding -Get certified with Samsung and Google

Cons

-Abysmal pay for what you do. Don't expect much, if anything, over minimum wage despite preforming a highly technical job with a lot of other responsibilities tacked on. You will be expected to repair any device that waltzes through the door, usually same day or next day, all for that. You can make more flipping burgers or bussing tables than replacing screens. The "up to" salary is only because they will try and force you to sell a home insurance program on commission that nobody wants long term, prioritizing sales instead of retention or repairs. They will even penalize you for not selling enough, even if you are repairing phones on time without error. -Asurion ownership prioritizes insurance sales over repairs and doesn't care about the franchises. Asurion bought this company in 2019 and has been trying to transform it ever since. Expect to be forced to try and sell extended warranties instead of do repairs.

Pros

Absolutely none. This location operates as a severe compliance and legal liability to the Asurion/uBreakiFix brand.

Cons

A deep dive into the operational practices of this store reveals a calculated environment of systemic exploitation, digital fraud, and intentional security manipulation that should deeply concern corporate leadership and legal counsel: • Systemic Credential Fraud: Management actively operates off-the-books labor. New hires are forced to perform live customer intake and technical work orders directly under the Lead Technician’s active digital credentials. This creates falsified labor reporting, compromises data integrity, and violates corporate cybersecurity protocols. • Gated HR Exploitation: Management intentionally delays issuing official employee IDs and logins. Because the corporate HR portal is strictly gated behind an active employee ID requirement, terminated workers are systematically blocked from accessing corporate HR channels to report wage theft or poor treatment. • Intentional Security Camera Tampering: The store lobby camera operates with a deliberately falsified time-and-date stamp and failure to record. This creates intentional visual blind spots. Management utilizes these dead zones to execute off-the-books terminations, ensuring no objective digital timeline exists to protect the worker or verify the company's liability. • Targeted Exploitation: Hiring practices appear heavily focused on targeting bilingual and minority applicants under the predatory assumption that they lack the resources or systemic literacy to navigate corporate compliance or defend their labor rights. • Attempted Wage Theft: Training hours are treated as optional compensation. Upon terminating a worker before system onboarding is complete, management explicitly states they will "try" to secure payment, flatly violating federal Department of Labor mandates until threatened with direct federal escalation.
