Pros

Co-workers- some of the best people Management- Most managers care and want to help Schedule- can request off whenever That’s where it stops though

Cons

In the middle of the pandemic they delivered us a paycut that was devastating and and moral terrible. After that they loaded the department with more people and added more work for us to do and made it mandatory to document it with pictures on a iPad for 4$ an hr. If I wanted to merchandise more I would go work in a where house. Do this because I said so attitude from corporate isn’t going to work either because the pay isn’t worth the amount of nonsense you deal with from customers and corporate. They’re times where the pay is more tolerable than others but in long term format is unreliable I wouldn’t recommend staying here longer than 3-5 years because of the lack of promotions and pay it’s basically useless get your knowledge and get out.

Thank you for taking the time to share your opinion with us. Micro Center does have a commission work environment, which is base plus commission with an average range from $18-$32+ per hour. We ask our associates to merchandise products so they can better know what we sell can be knowable for our customers. The pandemic was unforeseen for everyone and was not something anyone planned for. We had to implement new processes to try and handle all that was happening at that time and beyond. As a company we definitely care about our employees, we review pay regularly, and we work on improving our processes to better serve our customers. I would encourage you to discuss your concerns with management, if you are looking for improvement as we have an open-door policy. Your manager can work with you on an action plan to assist in your career growth. Regards, Leslie Whitley Regional HR.

Pros

Customer obsessed culture with a strong emphasis on expertise and service. Leadership is highly engaged, with consistent focus on coaching, accountability, and development through structured one-on-ones and daily execution rhythms. Clear expectations across sales, service, and operations create alignment on what success looks like. The organization provides exposure across multiple business functions, allowing leaders to build well rounded operational and commercial skill sets. High performance environment that rewards ownership, initiative, and results.

Cons

As a smaller, specialized retailer, organizational growth and upward mobility may take longer compared to larger big-box companies. Resources and infrastructure are still evolving in certain areas, which can require leaders to be more hands-on. High expectations and pace can create pressure during peak periods, requiring strong prioritization and resilience. Some systems and processes have a learning curve, particularly for leaders coming from larger, more standardized organizations.
