Pros

Great Discount, some great co-workers

Cons

Overworked, understaffed, underpaid. Generally disrespected position that had any spare task thrown at it, Bathroom and Carts being the worst. You make a mistake and its the end of the world, Management makes the exact same mistake and it's laughed off. Low pay and theres nothing quite like working 60+ work a week, including the entire weekend while your boss comes in M-F 7-4.

Micro Center is a corporate company that is based on customer service but numbers too.

Pros

Commission is great if you do well, so you must know your product, how to interact with others, cope with strange situations, and be quick and efficient. In BYOPC, coworkers are kind and family-like to me, unlike others that fight for commission in other areas.

Cons

Numbers really matter to the company. If you can't get your numbers up, they will replace you with a new hire or someone within the company, no matter how good of a standing you were to them before. It also depends on your management.
