Pros

You will see what it's like to manage and resolve tickets, what it's like to fix phones, tablets, computers, and some console issues. The job will also teach you patience. Unlike other jobs in the same salary bracket, they also teach you a bit of what it's like to work in corporate. A good foot in the door for a technician career. They give you a review/potential raise every 6 months. Typically, the raise is a dollar or so. There is also a bonus structure, though the bonus you get depends on a lot of different metrics. The company does bring representatives to teach you how to sell to reach bonus.

Cons

The job provides little pay for what you are doing. The starting pay can vary from 14-16 dollars for a job that should at least be providing 20. I cannot talk for all store locations of course as I am certain the story changes on who is in charge, but my performance was constantly measured and doing great was never enough. Not only from the managers, but also from corporate, with the store location's revenue goals growing higher and pressure put onto the managers (which is then put to the worker). This all culminates to the culture from the job being difficult to work in. You have no space to avoid anyone either, as the store locations are small so it can be difficult to find a break from these pain points. And oh boy, the customers. I think part of it comes from technology being expensive and needed in our everyday lives, but jeez, some people will ruin your next couple of days with how they treat you sometimes. There are some great customers that come in, but there will be moments where there is friction in the system that the customer goes through to get their stuff repaired (dealing with poor warranties, making proper claims, holes in protection plans, failures during repairs, and long turnaround times) that makes de-escalation a constant task. It's not a matter of if you will need to do it, but rather how long until you must deal with a difficult customer again. This consistent negativity from customers is a serious issue with this job as it is difficult to stay positive with negative attitudes from customers dragging you down. It doesn't affect only you either, the whole store deals with customers and the barrage brings the whole store's morale down with it. Finally, the subscription model. I personally think they don't provide a service worthy enough for $40 a month, and it can be difficult to sell a plan like that to many customers. You get a cut for selling the plan thankfully, but it is also tied into a threshold that is needed for you to receive your bonus.

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.
