Pros

Discount is the only pro

Cons

Get 6 weeks paid full for mental (that’s amazing for any company) but if you are hurt on the job you get 1/3 pay when the company tells you to go home and you get all benefits taken away because they didn’t pay while you are on forced FLMA. No communication between management from Geek Squad to the agents. No matter how hard you work for the company getting top of numbers for years in a row only get the 3% raise. Management promotes brown nosing. Denied promotions because of “reasons” Management won’t show proof of “reasons” Management puts blocks on boards for “team building” and wants employees to pay for food at “team building” This isn’t a “career” it’s a job Tells work partner of new hours won’t talk to other Agents on same truck. Meeting are just reading an email for 4 hours

Pros

Learn a lot on the job. Great place to entry level in tech. Geek squad has a lot of independence from the store when I was there.

Cons

Proper scheduling. If people call out they do not try to fill role they simply expect you to do more. Rotating schedule, Your on and off days will change week to week.

Pros

No Need to sell or deal with customers (Much) Constantly moving so you always have a task to do Management leaves you to your own devices Almost all warehouse employees have a set of headphone

Cons

Everyone (Cust & employees) Expect an encyclopedic knowledge on where every single item is. Management seems to think we can lift a 85" tv, pull a washer off the top shelf, stock gaming shelves, and handle store pick up at the same moment. Customers think we don't want to help them when we call someone else to help with sales There's almost too much to do and even though we may have 1-3 employees working at a time, 1 is at the door, 1 is behind store pick up, which leaves 1 employee to handle new orders, deliveries, and down stocking.
