Fun job, good opportunity to make commission

Customer service representative

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Coworkers are pretty great. Everyone is competent at their jobs, which is rare these days. Micro Center cares about its employees and it is shown in the Chicago store by the GM Dan. A lot of chance to earn extra commission pay if you can sell (not as hard as it seems). Good work/life balance. Solid employee discount.

Cons

Can be monotonous depending on the type of person you are. It’s an electronics store so knowing the product is tougher than at other places - they say they’ll teach you the product but they never do, you just learn on your own. Training is pretty abysmal. You must meet certain metrics to be considered successful and most of these metrics are out of your control.
