Leaving was the hardest part

Commissioned sales associate

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

It's only $4 an hour but a good salesman will easily average over 40K a year with commissions. Usually competent managers that respect your level of knowledge for your department They don't hire just anybody which means you'll actually have competent people working with you

Cons

Vendor fine print can be your ending

Micro Center Response

Good place to get foot in the door.

Anonymous employee

Pros

New commercial products to get acquainted with. Employee discounts. A good place to potentially network with people in the IT field. They will pay for your certs!!! (After being employed for a certain time)

Cons

Hard to move up or laterally within the store. General sales is the worst position in the store. Commission based. Money is contingent on selling replacement plans.

Good for someone who is passionate about computer hardware

Retail sales associate

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

I was given plenty of opportunities to explore other career options within the company, such as leadership or technician roles.

Cons

Preferential hours, such as the peak shopping hours on the weekend, were given to certain employees. Since the job is based on commission, this meant people who only worked during the week had worse numbers, which then perpetuated into getting the less desirable shifts.

Thanks for your 5 stars in culture & values, career advancement and senior management. We wish you the best in your future endeavors. Thanks Jennifer HOHR
