Pros

I think the pay is pretty good for working commission. The people you meet are for the most part friendly, especially in other departments.

Cons

I think that it can get competitive on the sales floor while working with certain associates when it doesn't need to be.

Pros

Unlike typical retail jobs, working at Micro Center offers the rewarding experience and satisfaction of being a solution provider in the technical world. It’s not just about selling products; it’s about helping customers find the right technology solutions for their needs. Professional and dynamic work environment. Great compensation and benefits. Fantastic company culture with significant investment in training and development. Support for a healthy work-life balance, crucial for long-term job satisfaction and well-being. Employee discounts on products and services, which is a significant plus for tech enthusiasts.

Cons

The work environment can be very busy during weekends, so you have to be willing to work weekends. However, more sales mean more commission, which can be a great incentive.
