Pros

Good people to work with, good sense of community, certain employee discount, & and trusted company.

Cons

Schedules always changes every two weeks, managers can sometimes avoid helping associates or take longer to assist especially with Geek Squad issues, clients can sometimes be difficult (you can look at it as a positive thought because it trains you for tough situations), discounts are not fixed and vary on product, not really able to sit. Also the job is not really about repairing it’s a sales job for their tech support plans and you have to be able to check in computers quickly and move to the next client as quick as possible.

Pros

1. Good exposure to learn about product quality. 2. US folks are quite helpful 3. Pay and health benefits are good.

Cons

1. No work life balance - there office timing is bit off, half of the time we spent in the traffic and half in the meetings. It’s more than 9 hours spend for the work. In some of the team, meeting exceeds till 11-12 am. 2. 3 days work from office is mandate no excuse, they only consider your physical well-being not mental. 3. Lunch is not at good here, very blend in taste and not healthy in the newest office.

Pros

Easy to sell memberships lots of training available

Cons

As a lead manager you are required to be a manager every single shift, but only get paid "shift lead pay" like once a week. They hire super shy people that wont make eye contact let alone sell and get mad at you when you cant make them sell. Was a top seller in the district and outsold all the other manager combined and STILL wasn't enough! The pay structure wasn't even communicated until AFTER i started. Been in retail a long time and have had good and bad experiences but this is the only one ive ever gave my feedback on because it was that bad! They kept adding to our responsibilities as lead managers like having us open and close so the higher up managers could go home early but don't pay us more. Between that and the amount of being yelled at customers and managers multiple times per hour? Nope not worth the cheap pay. Managment also puts the opportunity for advancement in front of you like a carrot on a stick. If you like getting paid average pay, getting yelled at constantly, being lied to, having no real opportunities no matter how well you do, and being given all the responsibilities and having no support, work here!
