Pros

I really love working with my co-workers, it makes each day a little easier. I also either hate or love interacting with clients and helping them with their appointments. Overall pretty good pay for the basic level work you do and the overall environment is very nice. If you enjoy technology and are comfortable with it you’ll feel right at home

Cons

Dealing with clients can be a hit or miss, just like any job where you deal with the general public. Also higher management can sometimes manage things to align with their personal goals.

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.
