Business Outlook

Pros

Good place to learn and gain experience, great place to get started in IT repair if you are young. Lots of trainees there who are young, inexperienced and break things and the store will cover all the things you break.

Cons

Terrible place for an experienced tech. You have to fix all the things people break, the system is made to not be enjoyable.
