Pros

Pay and benefits are more than fair. Unlimited time off. A commitment to diversity, equity & inclusion. New luxurious headquarters in Nashville. Some openness to remote work. Apparently infinite resources.

Cons

In 2019, Asurion acquired and then renamed uBreakiFix, gaining a direct-to-consumer sales channel. Unfortunately, instead of hiring new executives with experience in retail, or even heeding the uBreakiFix people on staff with a deep understanding of retail, they just retrofitted all their insurance company personnel, methods and infrastructures onto their new retail and franchising business. The results have been 100% predictable to anyone who knows how retail businesses typically operate. Rookie mistakes and crazy inefficiencies abound because they have not called in or heeded experts in retail or franchising. They are learning everything the hard way, through trial and error, because they got rid of the uBreakiFix executives and did not hire new executives with experience in retail. Every difficulty the company has experienced over the past few years was easy to predict (and thus easy to avoid) if people experienced in retail had been leading the way.

Pros

The job does pay well and does give you commission and mileage back. It’s 22.05 an hour and .77 cents per mile ( you will drive a lot and your mileage check will probably be the same as your weekly check )

Cons

The job is hyper focused on pushing people to sell VHDP or HTP (VHDP Verizon Home Device Protection ), ( Home Tech Protection ). The job doesn’t really care for the financial situation of a client and will say “ well you could have told them even though they are on a fixed income, they can still get the plan and talk to their ISP about financial hardship “ the staffing is sometimes very scarce and is also very lack of consideration for driving far off with no help if you get stuck. If you happen to have a vehicle issue ( which you will ) you have 7 days to get it back up in running before you get either written up or let go. I did enjoy working for this company, but it was mentally taxing and always was about getting every dollar out the customer even though they already paid for the visit for you to come out, and the phone replacement which they have to pay for monthly. Once you have worked for the company for atleast 90 days you will get a tablet and they will make you start doing Verizon consultation about the customers WiFi and try to sell them these 90 dollar WiFi just so they can make the most money possible. It’s all just give me money even though you already gave me money
