Micro Center Response

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts. It is unfortunate that you were unable to take advantage of the potential for a great commission income in sales. With 5 stores in the NYC area, and North Jersey we have a good opportunity for advancement and growth. Glad you enjoyed the discount offered to associates. Take care and all the best.
