Pros

the staff and other agents are awesome.Its fun to be there when there is down time. Working here is a perfect way to start in the very basic of computer troubleshooting. great Benefits, paid college, health care and a matching 401K.

Cons

The clients. dealing with the general public at large and sticking to SOP can be emotionally challenging at times. Having any free time is close to impossible, people will walk up to the counter and stop what precious time you have to complete your work. as a consultation agent you are not suppose to repair or touch the key bored. Your main job is to sell tech-support plans and to be a sales man. You can't clime up very far , as the next and final position to a consultation agent is an advanced repair agent. Double agent and the other positions are very competitive and harder to get into then they should . Best Buy is very cheep when supporting the geek squad.

Pros

Great people, amazing boss, flexible hours. Learned a lot about hardware and software troubleshooting and am always entertained repairing iPhone hardware.

Cons

Fast paced environment that may overwhelm new hires. In this role you are an anchor for the Consultation Agents so dealing with their problems on top of your own repairs can get a bit troublesome at times.
