Pros

Basically impossible to get fired - reliable work with plenty of hours

Cons

You're an all-in-one everything computer repair, upgrades, data backups, operating system installs, 3d printer installs, customer computer installs, adding/requesting/deleting parts, as well as much much more go-to man. To make it simple, it's a lot of work and can become very stressful at times.

I'm sorry that your role was not what you wanted to do and I hope that you can find a role where you do only repairs. Our business has changed and we want our Technicians to work with as many customers as they can because our Technician's expertise is a definite advantage for our Company. Customers love the new model and that's good for everybody! Take care, Angie

Pros

Customer obsessed culture with a strong emphasis on expertise and service. Leadership is highly engaged, with consistent focus on coaching, accountability, and development through structured one-on-ones and daily execution rhythms. Clear expectations across sales, service, and operations create alignment on what success looks like. The organization provides exposure across multiple business functions, allowing leaders to build well rounded operational and commercial skill sets. High performance environment that rewards ownership, initiative, and results.

Cons

As a smaller, specialized retailer, organizational growth and upward mobility may take longer compared to larger big-box companies. Resources and infrastructure are still evolving in certain areas, which can require leaders to be more hands-on. High expectations and pace can create pressure during peak periods, requiring strong prioritization and resilience. Some systems and processes have a learning curve, particularly for leaders coming from larger, more standardized organizations.
