Pros

I love my job, I love repairing phones and computers. I've been very passionate about tech for a long time. Being able to bring a dead device back to life, make it perform better or being able to save photos of a loved one off a phone that they though would never turn on again are all amazing feelings, my coworkers are all wonderful people and share the same passions that I do. I love working with them and I love the challenge of the work we do.

Cons

The managers and the regional managers are wonderful. However the owners of my particular franchise being the central arkansas franchise are absolutely horrible and cruel. They insult and belittle the staff, they promise raises that never come, they shift blame onto other people, lie about the things they've done, "lose" paychecks and even protect their "favorites" when they threaten physical harm to other staff. There's no room for growth in this company and you cannot trust the owners to ever keep their words and if they don't like you, they won't tell you, they'll have someone else tell you and they sure won't fire you, they don't want to pay your unemployment, they'll just tell the managers not to put you on the schedule anymore. They're crooks and liars.

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.
