Pros

There is decent pay, spend much of the time looking at people's computers and diagnosing the problems. It is relatively simple if you know what problems there are. Because we get paid by hour, there is usually time to relax during early hours when there isnt much people at the store. The store is also has air conditioning and also there are employee discounts mostly on best buy branded products.

Cons

Sometimes there are very annoying people to deal with. They would not ask for help because they think they know more than you. There are also other who would never buy anything for the price it is worth.

Pros

-It's a job that is available in most locations.

Cons

-The company, on a corporate level, doesn't seem to grasp the value of the talent they have. - Close ties with Citibank subvert the importance of product knowledge, customer service, and revenue for credit card sales. - Daily Performance check-ins are overbearing and myopic. - Tends to burnout motivated employees with false carrots and hollow promises. - Pay's terrible, and rides the line of predatory at times.
