Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. At Micro Center, we are committed to fostering an inclusive, respectful, and professional work environment. Allegations of a toxic or sexist workplace are taken seriously. In this case, the concerns raised were reviewed thoroughly, and we did not find evidence supporting the claims. However, we always encourage team members to speak up through the proper channels so we can address concerns appropriately and promptly. We strongly disagree with the suggestion that there is little opportunity for women at this location. In fact, we recently promoted a female associate to the Apple Champion role in Tustin—an important and customer-facing position. We’re proud of our diverse and growing team. As for our Service department, it operates on a performance-based incentive structure. Technicians have the opportunity to earn additional income based on their results, which reflect the volume and quality of their work—not from exploiting customers. We hold high standards for ethical behavior and customer service, and we expect all employees to maintain them. We appreciate your feedback and wish you success in the future.

Thank you for your review and for your years of service at Micro Center. We’re glad to hear that your coworkers made a positive impact during your time with us—that kind of teamwork is something we truly value. We understand that pay is an important factor. Our General Sales associates operate on a commission-based structure, with a base rate of $4.00 per hour. However, when combined with commissions, the average earnings for our sales team currently come out to around $21.00 per hour company-wide. We regularly evaluate our compensation structure to ensure it remains competitive and rewards performance. We take feedback about leadership seriously as we continuously strive to improve. If you'd be willing to provide more specific details about your experience, we would appreciate the opportunity to look into this further. We appreciate your feedback and wish you the best in your future endeavors. Best - Jennifer Rex - Senior HR Generalist – 614.850.3153

Thank you for your review and for your time as a Service Technician at our Columbus location. We're pleased to hear that you found the pay and employee discount to be positive aspects of your experience. Regarding your comment about the role feeling more like a sales job — we understand how that perception can arise. While the position is focused on providing technical solutions, it also includes recommending appropriate services based on the repairs or support needed. This service-based recommendation model is part of our effort to ensure customers receive the best long-term value and care for their devices. The commission structure tied to this work is communicated during the hiring process, and we aim to support our technicians in delivering both expert service and helpful guidance. We appreciate your time at Micro Center and wish you all the best in your future endeavors. Best - Jennifer Rex - Senior HR Generalist – 614.850.3153
