Pros

- Customers are often really cool - You work at nerd Mecca so you learn a lot - The pay isn't too bad and with commission you can get a few extra $ a day. - You can enter fake emails and addresses and nobody will know.

Cons

- The management will bother you if you don't haggle customers into buying warranties, and getting personal information to spam they don't want or need. - Customers get really mad when you haggle them. - Selling warranties is unethical when most products microcenter sells come with warranties from the manufacturer.

Hello. Our goal is to ensure that we provide the best possible solutions for our customers and to ensure that we have accurate customer information to better serve them. Our system allows us to monitor customer data that is entered and falsification of that data is not tolerated. The Service Plans our associates offer provide different coverage than a standard product warranty and we find that some customers feel more confident in their purchase when they have the additional security of a warranty. The most important requirement of our associates is that they always act with integrity and knowledge. If would you like to further discuss your employment experience, please call our HR office and ask for me by name. Thank you Jennifer Corporate Recruiting Manager 614-850-3150
