Pros

The co-workers are my store were nice.

Cons

-This is a sales job, don't let them fool you. The job pays less than $15 an hour and they expect you to make up the rest of your salary in commission for their insurance product called Home+. This is pretty much all they care about. They have daily calls where grown adults start yelling excitedly over the sales everyday at 9am. -New Hire training is an absolute waste of 5 weeks. You'll learn more about repairs from your coworkers than you will in the training. It's horrible and only about sales. When you move on to the repairs, the trainers only do 1 hour check-ins daily and the repair training is self-lead online. This training just tells you how to disassemble a phone, not actually repair a screen, battery, or anything else. -Despite it being a core value of the company, the customer service is not "remarkably human." In fact, it's some of the wort customer service I've ever seen. It's an embarrassment to have to try to help customers get a repair when asurion sets up a claim yet mess it up. -The communication is absolutely atrocious when it comes to major changes like store hours. Like 24 hour notice to tell your staff they no longer have consistently schedules. -The benefits aren't that great. They give you lots of options, yes, but they really don't pay much towards your medical insurance. -There are so many mandatory ridiculous calls for leadership to be on that your manager will most likely be on calls for half the day. This leads into the next problem. -This company does not know how to run retail stores. They start each store with only 3 people and expect you to be fine. With only 3 people, you have to stop accepting same-day repairs in the afternoon which angers customers. The phone queue will get backed up and repairs will fall behind the the calls the manager is forced to be one and the occasional issues with diagnostics. However, the store isn't allowed. 4th employee unless it can prove it can make revenue. Yet customers walk away when they hear we can't do same day repairs due to staffing. It's a catch 22.

Pros

- Fast Paced, plenty to keep even the busiest hands occupied. - Room to learn an industry that will survive for as long as technology exists. - Some experience can translate well in other fields. - Good opportunity to earn commission through sales if requirements are met.

Cons

- If you are ONLY interested in a tech/tech repair focused position, this is not the job for you. Unless you have a decade of experience you will be expected to make sales, bargain for reviews, and go above and beyond at all times to increase store sales. - MASSIVE barriers to earn commissions. - No PTO - No sick days - No upward movement except for extrordinary circumstances. - Falls short of other employers in terms of compensation. - No raises whatsoever once you finish training. - Shady grey-area business practices, straddling the line of breach of contract with partnerships at some points. - You will be asked to lie, mislead, cheat, and manipulate not only customers, but the very partners that keep your stores in business. The partners of uBreakiFix (mainly Asurion) have to constantly update the terms and rules of their partnerships because you are expected to take complete advantage of every single customer that walks in your doors. If you have any sort of moral compass whatsoever, look somewhere else. The best way to survive at uBreakiFix is to KEEP YOUR HEAD DOWN. They don't require experience, but expect to be thrown to the wolves as soon as your 90-days are up. Hit the ground running, keep your head down, and make sure your hands are clean at the end of the day.
