Pros

The employee discount keeps most of us around, they are helpful when you have a family event or emergency. Some of the managers are down to earth and treat you as a equal, Find a good store to work for they are differant go and visit them and ask the employees how they like it if they seem happy most likely you will be too. Its not the worst place to work but they could take steps to make things alot better

Cons

No hours, under trained, no praise, overall management is horrible. All they focus on is numbers forget about the client they just want us to get there money

Pros

The discount is nice. Great place to see and learn about new electronics and gadgets. Co-workers generally have a good time together in after work hours. The Geek Squad is a good stepping stone for people headed to IT career fields.

Cons

Scheduling was never done as promised and interferes with personal life and free time. Early morning meetings are rarely effective as most employees are either still sleeping, drunk, or pissed off. Enforcement of company policy is spotty at best amongst different stores and supervisors. They are terrible at retaining and hiring competent Geek Squad employee's and most Agents feel over worked. And don't have enough time to get the work done.
