Micro Center doesn't know how to treat their employers!

Customer service representative

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

They're all about customer service, saving people money, you get commission, and can call out whenever. Store manager is a great leader/ funny. Cool people you work with. some customers can be really cool

Cons

Management doesn't know how to manage. They favorite a lot of people. Management doesn't know how to treat customers. Front end has so much drama that doesn't need to be in the workforce. They like to fire people for doing nothing wrong. The customers can get a little crazy. But the management doesn't do anything. except eat in the cash office.

Pros

Higher pay than similar stores. Decent benefits even for part time workers including paid vacation time. Employee discount.

Cons

Some policies are overly complicated. Almost every employee has many more responsibilities than at similar workplaces. Some are stretched much too thin.

Good Place to work for young people, Not a career

Business Outlook

Pros

- Great Employee discount - Healthy work environment

Cons

- Sales commission are really transparent. They employ a system of pooling which makes it impossible for sales people to accurately and precisely calculate their paychecks. I think there must be more transparency in sharing commission numbers so sales people can optimize for their paycheck
