Micro Center reviews

1. This place doesn't seem to hire very many women, and those who are hired make less than the men. 2. *Most* supervisors are great, but sadly the ones higher up on the ladder can be hugely difficult to deal with. A lot of people have left specifically because of one top manager. 3. There are mandatory monthly e-learning courses that you have to find time to do, often during your lunch break or before/after work, when you're off the clock. 4. CSRs are in competition with sales associates to sell add-ons, which can lead to a little tension. The push to sell add-ons is also very high. 5. The employee discount is really only worth it for smaller electronics. For things like computer parts and computers themselves, there is no discount at all. (But since they're already sold at the lowest prices and you can always price match competitors, that's not so bad.)

Sometimes it feels as though the company cares about their numbers and how you're benefiting towards it. Absolutely no sense of job security. It's really hard to move up and sometimes the people that do get promoted makes absolutely no sense. Lot of pressure and emphasis on getting customers email addresses. They say all they want you to do is ask but if your email percentage is low they'll get on your back about it as if you're not asking. Customers are horrible but that's with any retail job.
