Also for those that have said it earlier in the posts, Geek Squad is NOT part of Best Buy. We are not Best Buy's Geek Squad...we merely have a partnership with Best Buy. Think about the coffee shops and fast food places inside stores like Target and Walmart.
BullShat!.....you are 110% WRONG!
Bestbuy basically Bought out Geeksquad and aquired them into there store base, My paycheck comes from BESTBUY, my managers wear blue shirts and carry clipboards with current sales for the day, And WE ALL WORK FOR BESTBUY
Bestbuy and Geeksquad are the same company, I cant go complain to Geeksquad because of anal Bestbuy managers, I can only complain to Bestbuy
Get your facts straight before lying!
Geeksquad is a joke, They promote how they are non commision based. What they fail to tell the public is that most stores require there sales associates and Geeksquad agents to keep whats called a "Sales Tracker". The Sales people and Geeksquad agents write down all the stuff they sell you, and turn it into management at the end of there shift. If they dont sell enough stuff , they arent given hours the next week , or are repremanded. Also Geeksquad Requires NO CERTIFICATIONS. You are basically entrusting your computer to someone who could have been flipping burgers at Mc Donalds the week before. Do you want to see what the Geeksquad Agents Use to fix your computer? . Its basically a bunch of FREE TOOLS that are easily aquired off the internet. Google "Geeksquad MRI BDE".....The tools are laughable at best. Most Agents are gonna recommend a System Restore on the unit,instead of investing time to fix your machine,Because most of these Agents are just Glorified Sales People,They have to Ring out New PC Packages , Check Returned Units , Send Out Service Items , Sell Geeksquad Services....and they just dont have the time to properly remove viruses,So do yourself a Favor,Take your computer somewhere that will fix it properly, Trust me, I work for Geeksquad, If i dont show a "Sales Tracker" each day to my manager,My hours are cut for the next week, Only the people who get $200-$350 out of each PC repair taken in, get hours the following week, Now how is this better then CompUSA with commision?
