Pros

Friendly coworkers, nice stuff to look at, employee discounts, and if you were trying to get a A+ license, they will pay for your test.

Cons

Their pay was a little complicated and it all depends how good you are at selling. Sometimes we would be getting passersby that would step into our restroom and just starts smoking in the restroom which leaves a nasty stench in the restroom, but hey it's Georgia, that stuff is everywhere apparently.

Micro Center Response

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts and I'm sorry to hear about the issue in the restroom. Your leadership team will be made aware of the issue for future. Best of luck to you!
