Geek Squad City Tell-All VS Founder Of Geek Squad
“Chris J, the ex-employee, alleges that Geek Squad City techs receive little training and are recruited from fast food counters. He says the techs have no access to technical manuals for your computer. Repairs are often done by “shotgun approach” where they “spray” your computer with parts in the hopes that will fix the problem, he says. Superglue is used to make repairs. No one gets trained in the on-site tools needed for doing component level repair.

Needless to say, Robert doesn’t quite agree with all that.”
