Excellent Pay for those who want it.

Business Outlook

Pros

The team that you work with is awesome, and co-workers are usually like-minded younger folks into technology. Management is close and helps develop you into a competent salesperson. The money you can make is insane so long as you keep working the job consistently and don't get sidetracked throughout the day.

Cons

Very low base pay, so if you want a job where it's very relaxed and there's no pressure for you to do anything, then this isn't the job for you. Management is very direct at times so if you don't handle constructive criticism well, then you will dislike management. Retail schedule makes for little free time on weekends.

Micro Center Response

We appreciate your service with us and your balanced feedback. It's important that you find something you are passionate about and work hard at it to be successful. We will share your feedback about moving between departments as that growth is important to our Company. Again, thanks and keep up the good work! Angie Miller VP-HR
