You do get an opportunity to learn quite a bit about doing repairs to hardware as well as removing viruses but most of that is quite basic. All challenging problems get sent out to the service center. You can also get tons of experience working with irritated customers as sadly they come in irritated far more often than not. The pace of work is usually pretty fast and challenging when there's customers coming in and you're trying to get to all of them at once so you're rarely bored. I can't think of anything else good to say about my job at Geek Squad.

Let me preface this by saying it was my first job and worked here for just under a year: - Great management: They care a lot about you as an individual, and if you aren't meeting metrics, they will try to help you rather than scold you for bad performance. - Team Bonding: The store tends to have a day or two a month where either the management or a brand ambassador will bring in food, and the team itself is very intertwined, and everyone knows the entire team by name. - Career Mobility for Management: If you want to work at BBY for a career, go down the management route; while being a consultant can be lucrative, it is volatile and heavily competitive, whereas management gives the most growth opportunity for someone looking to thrive.
