      Great people within the store, easy money, poor company choices.

      Pros

      At a store level, more specifically at the Sharonville location, the people are amazing. I have truly found life long friends within the store. The job its self is easy, high standards to make good money but it is good money for a ridiculously easy job. You really just need to be able to speak to people, keep up with current tech, and honestly just be somewhat nerdy.

      Cons

      Unfortunately, the people at "home office" really just see employees as a number on a spreadsheet. which is sad considering as a company they do really well. Good people want to work at Micro Center so honestly I think they just get lucky with hiring. I will also say that Micro Center is a place that is easy to stay with... Again its easy decent money, However there really isn't any forward growth path in my opinion... I was asked to join management often, but management was a pay cut with more hours. Not worth it to me. Their tiers for growth are very limited. People who are high up within Micro Center tend to stay so no room opens up for upper management. The company is growing so maybe that will change, but if you aren't in management at the home office expect to be a number on a spreadsheet to them.

      Pros

      •Paid holidays. •They sell cool tech products.

      Cons

      •Management’s idea of training is follow this guy around and thats it you’re on your own. •Full time position but your hours change as if you were part time. •A commission based position for sales but they have you cleaning the store everyday and unloading a huge commercial truck for $4 an hour. (Slave labor) •Sleazy salesman tactics throughout the entire store. •Constant theft because they don’t believe in proper security for the store. •Bad communication between management and the employees regarding procedures/protocols. •Constant turnover •They don’t pay you to train new workers but expect you to train them anyway •They have no loyalty to their employees. Worked here for a little over a year and generated over a million dollars in revenue with no incidences just to be let go over a $5k loss to the business.

      We appreciate you sharing your experience. 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. Our General Sales associates do have a base rate of $4.00 per hour. However, their total earnings consider both their commission and base pay to determine their hourly rate over a two-week pay period. Right now, our General Sales associates are averaging about $21.00 per hour throughout the company. We continuously evaluate compensation structures and are committed to offering competitive wages and benefits, including commission opportunities that can significantly impact overall earnings. Your feedback is valuable, and we will take it into consideration as we review our store policies and procedures. We're committed to continuous improvement and encourage you to reach out to share specific details so we can address concerns directly. Best - Jennifer Rex - Senior HR Generalist – 614.850.3250
