      Pros

      Co-workers- some of the best people Management- Most managers care and want to help Schedule- can request off whenever That’s where it stops though

      Cons

      In the middle of the pandemic they delivered us a paycut that was devastating and and moral terrible. After that they loaded the department with more people and added more work for us to do and made it mandatory to document it with pictures on a iPad for 4$ an hr. If I wanted to merchandise more I would go work in a where house. Do this because I said so attitude from corporate isn’t going to work either because the pay isn’t worth the amount of nonsense you deal with from customers and corporate. They’re times where the pay is more tolerable than others but in long term format is unreliable I wouldn’t recommend staying here longer than 3-5 years because of the lack of promotions and pay it’s basically useless get your knowledge and get out.

      Thank you for taking the time to share your opinion with us. Micro Center does have a commission work environment, which is base plus commission with an average range from $18-$32+ per hour. We ask our associates to merchandise products so they can better know what we sell can be knowable for our customers. The pandemic was unforeseen for everyone and was not something anyone planned for. We had to implement new processes to try and handle all that was happening at that time and beyond. As a company we definitely care about our employees, we review pay regularly, and we work on improving our processes to better serve our customers. I would encourage you to discuss your concerns with management, if you are looking for improvement as we have an open-door policy. Your manager can work with you on an action plan to assist in your career growth. Regards, Leslie Whitley Regional HR.

      Pros

      We have a great group of guys, most of the team meets regularly outside of work to spend more time together. There's also a big enough team that we don't see the same guys every day. As far as customers go we have a lot of interesting people who come in that can be fun to interact with. We get commission on everything they buy so its easy to just have a conversation help them find what they are looking for a move on. It never feels like I have to upsell or pressure them to buy something so I can get a good paycheck. We also have the option to work 5 - 8 hour shifts or 4 - 10 hours shifts with 3 off days.

      Cons

      Some customers smell, your pay will be directly reflected on how you interact with customers. So if you are not warm, inviting, and able to sell your experience might very from mine.

      Thank you for taking the time to share your feelings with us and for this 5-star review! As you mentioned a flexible schedule is one of the many benefits of working at Micro Center. Being a sales associate, you hit the nail right on the head, your pay will reflect how you interact with our customers. When you're in a customer facing job, we can't help who shops in our stores however we can provide great customer service. So glad to hear that you treat all our guest with respect, kindness and knowledge. Keep up the great work! Sincerely Leslie Whitley, Regional HR.
