Pros

Co workers are great and seem more moral than managers. Merchandise is awesome. You can make money if you work three times harder than you have to.

Cons

During closed hours, before opening/after closing the store you will be paid $4/HR doing physical work and being pressured to finish it sometimes by yourself during the day. Tasks, truck, changes and more tasks by management will prevent you from selling the way you'd like to. No seance of teamwork. No sense of holding someone accountable for being absent, not doing a task and leaving it to the next coworker, etc.

Hi - Thank you for your service to the Company and our customers. It sounds like we have work to do as a management team in your store. Please call me 614-850-3151 or email me ajmiller@microcenter.com so I can better understand your thoughts. I will also be in your store during the week of March 7 so if that works better, I can speak with you then. Thanks, Angie Miller VP-HR

Pros

Pay was decent. Hours were flexible. Made many friends. Easy to advance in the company.

Cons

They make up rules as they go along and do not inform you. I was terminated for violating a policy that no one told me about and it was not in the employee handbook. When I told my manager all she said was, "I know, but home office said I have to let you go" - she uses the same "home office said so" line on customers when they get mad at her. They make you get a certain name/email capture percentage and if you don't reach the goal every month, you get wrote up and eventually fired. I've never seen anyone get fired over that, though. They don't make an announcement when the store is closed. They lock the doors, but the people still in the store usually have no idea we're closed and we have to stay until they leave. They dont have security and expect the people who work there to look out for thieves. We were not expected or allowed to chase anyone, but we had to check receipts and look in their bag if the door alarm went off.
