Horrible management.

Pros

Discounts on computer parts, tools, and other equipment was descent. Insight into new technologies making their way to the market place.

Cons

Scheduling was a joke. Management was horrible. I was what is referred to as a team lead. My job was to micromanage between management and lower level associates, while making the same pay as lower lever associates, having more responsibility, and getting yelled at for their mistakes.

It was adequate.

Pros

If you like commissioned based sales this is the place for you. You make as much as you can sell on products and any add-on such as warranties and accessories.

Cons

If you make a good commission, it can suck when you are asked to work overtime after closing hours to stock and clean up the store. This is especially annoying during the holiday season when the stock to be put away is more than the usual. Imagine making money only on commission then having to work an extra 4 hours stocking and cleaning because of a visit from corporate. You already made your money on the sales. You don't get paid on top of that with overtime No matter how many extra hours you work the money you get paid in the next check is the money made on commission. Your extra time is free labor to Micro Center.
