I'm sorry you didn't feel that your offboarding from Micro Center was handled properly. I can assure you that our company strives to notify our associates in person. Unfortunately, there might be circumstances that arise where that is not possible. I wish you luck in your future endeavors. Regards, Greg Nicolai - Regional Human Resources Manager - 513-344-8018.

Pros

Coworkers are amazing and so are the managers. You get to learn new things while repairing product.

Cons

Pay. Expect to be paid well below the national average. In this position at the DC you not only work on PC's, but also Drones, TVs, Servers, and about anything Micro Center sells. You are compensated as a Tier 1 help desk technician and nothing more. When moving through the process to be paid what me and my fellow co workers thought was appropriate.(national avg. which is currently $51,642 here on glassdoor itself for someone with 1-3 years of experience when I left I made $17 an hour with 3 years.) we instead had to wait 5 months for it. The raise was a whopping $0.50 to 4 people... An amazing job that I honestly would have stayed at for years to come but I can't with how upper management treats its employees. When asked about it HR would deflect and blame our personal performance or our managers for the low raise that only 4 people got.

Thank you for taking the time to share your perception and thoughts. Salary information is a very sensitive topic and your information as stated is inaccurate. Our goal is to always reward associates for their performance based on feedback from our managers. We will ensure going forward that the communication around pay is more clear and the expectations are set so everybody is aligned. Best of luck to you in your future endeavors. Sincerely, Angie Miller VP-HR
