Nice folk, bad management

Customer service representative

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Excellent Coworkers Sorta positive environment

Cons

Bad management No recognition at all Obligated to sell protection plans - strange enough folk who actually do their job, never call off and who likes working at this place seem to get fired before the ones who never do anything, leaving their stations to go talk to friends or to avoid customers entirely. Strange strange place.

Business Outlook

Pros

Good commission system. The harder you work the more you earn. Lots of spiffs from vendors are also provided. The management team is great.

Cons

Holiday hours can be tedious. Some tasks added to your daily work may not be necessary or just not the right tasks.

Micro Center Response

We appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts and we understand what you mean about the holidays! It gets crazy but as you said, the harder you work, the better it is for you and for our customers. Enjoy the season with your co-workers! Sincerely, Angie
