We're happy to hear you like our discount - it's one of the many benefits of working with us! I'd like to understand more about the issues you had with your schedule so we can rectify that issue for you. We do allow our Technicians to earn more money based on their ability to provide total solutions for our customers so there can be a healthy level of competition to see who can provide the best solutions. We love to see our Technicians helping customers and helping each other because it does get extremely busy as there's a high demand for our services. Please reach out to your Regional HR Manager so we can help you. Thanks, Angie Miller VP-HR

Thank You, for the great review! We are very proud at Micro Center to offer best-in-class benefits. As a company, we are constantly reaching out to our associates through store visits, employee surveys, and associate one on ones. We then utilize the feedback to enhance the employee experience. One example from associate feedback would be the changes we made regarding our 401k plan and the company match.
