Form is the most important thing to pay attention to, as poor form can do more harm than good. People who complain about squats usually aren't doing them right. Don't use any weight or speed until you have the movement down correctly and focus on getting a full range of movement. I've talked to several people who have actually said their knees have gotten better after doing squats. Like I said though, correct technique is crucial.
