Good Employees, Overworked, Underpaid.

Pros

Leadership knows what they are doing from top down to lead the organization. They hire qualified individuals for the positions and offer training that will bring you up to speed on any current gen tech. Employees/Management actually care about each other and are sociable.

Cons

Underpaid workers on both sales and lower management. Starting wage is lower than everywhere and depends on if you are a good salesman but if there is no opportunities to sell there's no compensation offered. Management team is overworked at high volume periods and salaries aren't very negotiable. If you want to be management you pretty much have to assume your going to be closing a lot. The Front End is becoming like many big box retailers and using less cashiers as a way to save money but counting on efficiency to save them, yet the system is so slow that the money saved is costing more in repeat customers. MicroCenter caters to crypto currency miners. They saw an opportunity to sell all those graphics cards and raise the prices costing them sales from repeat customers that actually make the sales associates money.
