Micro Center reviews

Ive worked there for 3 + years and work life balance is terrible! They want you to be available as much as possible and will slay you with hours. They also so not respect religious obligations and I would need to work Sundays or go part time. Also that I would have to deal with it or find another job simply because my beliefs which is discrimination. You will be asked to come on your days off to work and will be shamed of you do not comply. Turnover rate is super high and being understaffed and over worked is a huge issue. It would be great if you were paid well for your time but you get paid 4 dollars an hour when the store isn't open. So if your in sales and you start at 7am you're paid only 4 dollars working back breaking work till it opens at 10am. The division of labor is horrendous, certain departments get preferential treatment over others and it shows in their workload compared to others and how they are treated. They pay difference between departments can be a small or a giant chasm. You can be working 50 +hours and some one working only 30 and makes 2 times as much as you. Managements favoritism is grossly rampant and really unprofessional. Finally a really concerning issue is safety and there are many safety concerns. I've seen quite a few injuries to employees and customers including myself while working there and some were serious.

Underpaid workers on both sales and lower management. Starting wage is lower than everywhere and depends on if you are a good salesman but if there is no opportunities to sell there's no compensation offered. Management team is overworked at high volume periods and salaries aren't very negotiable. If you want to be management you pretty much have to assume your going to be closing a lot. The Front End is becoming like many big box retailers and using less cashiers as a way to save money but counting on efficiency to save them, yet the system is so slow that the money saved is costing more in repeat customers. MicroCenter caters to crypto currency miners. They saw an opportunity to sell all those graphics cards and raise the prices costing them sales from repeat customers that actually make the sales associates money.
