Pros

Employees get a pretty good discount on anything that's not computers or computer parts.

Cons

During your interview, you will be told that you'll "start as a cashier to get you used to the store, then you'll move to sales after a couple months." This couldn't be further from the truth. The management staff are arrogant and rude.

We appreciate you taking the time to give us your opinion. As a company Micro Center always wants and tries to promote from within. We also want our associate to be successful in their current role before we promote them to a new role. If you wish to discuss your opinion about management, please reach out to a Regional HR. Best Regards, Leslie Whitley, Regional HR.
