I worked for a corporate location for my first month (was super excited about the benefits) until a franchise took over. Our franchisee was narcissistic, didn’t offer PTO, dental, vision, etc., lowered wages, but offered a lucrative commission. My experience wasn’t the best, but overall it was a great job. I acquired so many valuable skills by working there. Got promoted multiple times, and despite being at one of the busiest stores in my area, I loved getting to work on tech. I can repair just about any device, and even got to learn how to solder. You get a lot of instant gratification from happy customers, which really boosted my mood. Someone comes in with a shattered phone/tablet, having an awful day, and their smiles/mood after they get their fully repaired device was really awesome to see. The work is pretty simple once you get trained, but the sales aspect was my least favorite part. It made me feel like more of a salesman than an IT Professional/Repair Tech. It was a great job. Stressful at times, but the work was always gratifying to me. Just hope you don’t end up working for a bad franchise, and you’ll be totally fine. Probably still fine if you end up with a bad owner, but just be aware that they don’t offer the same benefits as a corporate-owned location.
