Pros

Benefits, and employee pricing. Opportunities to advance knowledge through Vendor partnerships.

Cons

Management is usually a job decided by how well you party, they also misrepresent their enthusiasm about selling service plans and services. Managers get a bonus if monthly goals are met where line-level employees don't receive any reward for meeting monthly sales goals. Also Geek Squad is very unknowledgeable and typically uncertified. A job as a Geek Squad technician should definitely require some sort of certification.

Pros

Flexible hours, employee perks such as discounted products, offers 401(k) despite being part-time, coworkers who are nice to work with.

Cons

Management is quick to call-out sales that have nothing attached to it (warranties, card applications, memberships, or accessories). There is a rodent problem that has not been addressed for nearly a year; food and beverages cannot be sold at this store.
