Pros

Micro Center provides and excellent place to get started in a techie world. Pay is above average once you hit the sales floor. Very flexible hours. Vacation pay for part and full time. Lots of perks from vendors.

Cons

This companies appears to care about some stores over others (More-so in appearance than anything)...Also most associates are using very dated computers to assist customers - sometimes can be a bit annoying when you are selling the newest, but the customer questions why a computer store is using the oldest.
