Pros

Encouraging warehouse supervisor, awesome teammates

Cons

Management is piss-poor and out of touch with the team, many stories about sexual harassment and abuse of power, failure to abide by safety laws, lack of appreciation for workers who "pick up the slack". Low wages, no reimbursement or benefits for working the holidays as workload increases only warehouse receives low pay.

Thanks for the feedback regarding your time at Micro Center. First of all, I am glad that you part of a great team and that you worked well with your supervisor. That being said I would like to have a conversation about the other issues you mentioned. At Micro Center, we take the associates' environment seriously. I would like you to give me a call (anytime) to discuss the necessary details to address them accordingly, my number is 513-344-8018. I agree that the warehouse is a vital part of our team that allows the rest of our associates to provide world-class service to our customers. I look forward to your call. Best, Greg Nicolai 513-344-8018.

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts about our Company and the positives as well as things we can improve upon. We are extremely grateful for the knowledge of our associates and how they contribute to our Company every day. I'm disappointed that you felt you couldn't speak with HR or any Executive in the Company as we are all very accessible. I'll make sure that our team spends time in all areas so associates feel comfortable sharing with us and we can make changes where appropriate. Feel free to reach out to me or anybody on the team so we can improve our Company. Sincerely, Angie Miller VP-HR
