Pros

Great place to work good compensation and Heath insurance. Everyone I work with is knowledgeable and fun to work with. Love having Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years, and Easter off.

Cons

Store is a bit out of date, would be easier to sell if I had more up to date decor/fixtures.

Pros

Upper management is not so harsh on their employees like most retailers. Couple extra days each year the company is closed so employees can be with family. After the holiday rush, stores are now closed on new years day as well so staff can decompress and relax after holidays.

Cons

It's still working retail. :) Hours can be tough if you have a family or a busy life outside of work.

Pros

Micro Center is the best computer and electronics store chain in the US. The company cares about its employees and allows each associate to achieve as much success as they are willing to work for. Training and internal promotions are something Micro Center does constantly. Micro Center is one of the only electronic store chains that has benefits for both part-time and full-time employees as well as paid vacation and absent days. Micro Center CEO Rick Mershad cares about the well being of all of the company's employees and is one of the only retail establishments that not only gives Thanksgiving Day off to all its employees, but also New Years day as well. This is so the employees families can spend the holidays with their families, and not have to worry about work. These are some of the reasons I am happy to say I am a 13 year strong Micro Center employee.

Cons

Hours are retail and are going to vary weekly. They do their best to accommodate employee needs, but at the end of the day retail hours are not for everyone. It is a commission structure in pay, this to me is the reason I have worked here as long as I have. I have been very successful, but I am self driven and have made many long time repeat customer relationships that have paid off greatly over the years. If you are not a driven person in the sales field and self motivated, commission sales in this type of industry may not be right for you.
