Pros

Basically impossible to get fired - reliable work with plenty of hours

Cons

You're an all-in-one everything computer repair, upgrades, data backups, operating system installs, 3d printer installs, customer computer installs, adding/requesting/deleting parts, as well as much much more go-to man. To make it simple, it's a lot of work and can become very stressful at times.

I'm sorry that your role was not what you wanted to do and I hope that you can find a role where you do only repairs. Our business has changed and we want our Technicians to work with as many customers as they can because our Technician's expertise is a definite advantage for our Company. Customers love the new model and that's good for everybody! Take care, Angie
