Not a bad stepping stone

Sales associate - build your own

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great place to work if you're interested in technology or building computers. Tons of great deals especially with employee discounts on open-box items

Cons

Some managers work you like dogs and the base pay is really low. You earn your pay by commission so its not a sit back and relax type of job.

Micro Center Response
