Pros

Good work atmosphere, especially if you like electronics/media Plenty of opportunities to meet many new people and develop new friendships You are vitually guarenteed to expand you electronics product knowledge

Cons

Zombie-like feeling at work, constantly chasing customers around the sales floor Fairly dead-end, it can be a dogfight just to advance to a full time position, let alone management The store seems too big to communicate effectively at times

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.
