Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts about our Company and the positives as well as things we can improve upon. We are extremely grateful for the knowledge of our associates and how they contribute to our Company every day. I'm disappointed that you felt you couldn't speak with HR or any Executive in the Company as we are all very accessible. I'll make sure that our team spends time in all areas so associates feel comfortable sharing with us and we can make changes where appropriate. Feel free to reach out to me or anybody on the team so we can improve our Company. Sincerely, Angie Miller VP-HR

Pros

Commission based with a 4 dollar hourly for most roles. Good money available if you are good at talking to customers

Cons

Your managers will be horrible at communication not only with you but also with each other. You'll have different takes on policies from different managers. Zero schedule flexibility

Micro Center is a commissioned sales model offering an unlimited earning potential, the average Sales Associate makes 25.79 an hour company-wide. The System Department averages 33.53 an hour company-wide. I am glad your customer interactions are leading to commissioned sales. If you feel that the communication is inconsistent or have concerns, Micro Center has an Open Door Policy, each store has a poster explaining the Open Door process with the necessary contact information for associates to reach out for assistance. You can also contact your Regional HR Manager directly or ask them for some time when they are in your store. Thanks for the feedback. Greg Nicolai-Regional HR Business Partner-513-344-8018
