Pros

Good pay if you understand how to exploit the system Honestly, at my store, 90% of the staff are great to work with GM is honestly very caring and understanding

Cons

Zero work-life balance Inconsistent management behaviour and structure Inconsistent scheduling and "AI scheduling" Rule changes that can happen at random with no home office input theft of work tools being very rampant and not cared about A repair queue system that does not work as it promotes slapdash repairs with little to no care if the unit is repaired or not and a " priority care" system that loses benefits every other week

Thank you for sharing your perspective on your time as a Technician at Micro Center. We appreciate you highlighting positive aspects like good pay and the great team environment. As a retail organization, it’s important that we be able to serve our customers and we schedule accordingly. We recognize that retail scheduling, with its varied shift times driven by customer demand, can present challenges to work-life balance, and we aim to provide flexibility where possible. We've also taken note of your feedback regarding management consistency, tool security, and our repair queue system. We are continuously working to improve our operations and workplace experience, and we value all feedback as we strive to do so. Best - Jennifer Rex - Senior HR Generalist – 614.850.3153

Thanks for your review! It's great to hear you're happy with your coworkers, the employee discount, and the commission pay structure. We recognize that retail scheduling, with its varied shift times driven by customer demand, can present challenges to work-life balance, and we aim to provide flexibility where possible. We know you mentioned base pay; our sales roles have a base rate, but the real opportunity is in the commission, which can bring the total average hourly earnings significantly higher. Right now, our General Sales associates are averaging about $21.00 per hour throughout the company. We appreciate having you on the team! Best - Jennifer Rex - Senior HR Generalist – 614.850.3153
