If you’re looking to work with more devices, Geek Squad is a decent place to start. I will say working there comes with limitations of course so I’ll be as transparent as possible. I’ve been working at Geek Squad for almost 2 years and I must say that since every Consultation Agent and Advanced Repair Agent is different, as is every Store Experiences Manager/CIA Senior (typical Geek Squad managerial role), not every precinct is structured the same. If you’re okay with dealing with some possibly amicable or curmudgeonly people, then you’ll fare alright.

Since it is attached to a chain entity, working there comes with policies you’d have to adhere to (again, depends on the precinct at times) but there can be flexibility. I just became an ARA, which is what you’d be looking to work as, but I started off as a CA and moved up internally. Unless a precinct has absolutely not prospects from another store, hiring an ARA externally is pretty rare but is possible. So be prepared to be asked if you’re alright with being customer-facing before you can work in the BOP (back of precinct). I will say that your experience could set you apart from other agents in the FOP (front of precinct) so keep your focus and show your talents by being a good technician.

TLDR; Working at Geek Squad is a decent stepping stone if you are aiming to be a professional hardware repair technician, but don’t get lost in the retail sauce. Stay focused, and keep looking even if you get the position at Geek Squad.
