"I'm a floodian....
Step into our territory and you will be taken away at night while you are sleeping....and you will never see daylight ever again.......YOU WILL BE OUR FOOD!!!......*crawls back into hole*" Jedi 4

Before I write anymore I do agree that they overcharge and so forth but this thread is not about that it's more of the experience

So I thought I would write about it since I'm bored and if anyone was ever considering working there it's a not bad place to work

Things I dislike about the job

1.Geek squad should not have to do returns for some reason they combined Geek Squad and customer service desk into one so now we have to do returns and so forth.

2.The system called star that we use to track the computers when they come in and so forth is so blogged down and slow it take 5-10 minutes to load the program but the program that we use to check in computers is actually pretty easy to use

3.If your computer is a hardware issue then we will have to send it off to Geek Squad City to get it repaired including stupid stuff like replacing fans and so forth so the client has no computer for 5-6 weeks

The Good

1.At least at are precinct the fellow agents actually know something and are quite fun to work with

2.Your always busy there is never a dull moment

3.Allot of training to work at geek squad you first have to complete around 12-20 hours of training of E-learnings and you learn allot I have been working on computers for a while now and I am still learning stuff

but if you are cosidering it is fun

**Devil's advocate of the Flood. My posts may or may not represent my personal opinion, I just enjoy disagreeing with people. None of my posts are representative of the official view of the Navy or any government agency.

"rumor".. yeah, nah.a GS manager was arrested for being a creeper/pedo via webcam.

they did copy files from a former(then living, now dead[car wreck]) prown star's computer and send them to everyone in the office, and make backups

dude, Even ED has articles about this.
