Micro Center Response

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review on Glassdoor. We appreciate all feedback, as it helps us improve as an employer. We're glad to hear you found the Merchandise Specialist role straightforward at Micro Center. We strive to create clear expectations and provide the necessary training for success. We understand your concerns about the work environment and compensation. We've recently implemented a policy change where PTO accrual starts from the day you're hired, addressing your point about the initial waiting period. Regarding the office layout, while we don't currently have windows, we do offer a small outdoor space for breaks and our Hilliard location is situated in a walkable area. We appreciate your feedback on remote work for the Merchandise Specialist position. While we aren't currently evaluating remote work options for this role, we will keep your feedback in mind for future considerations. We wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors. Best - Jennifer Rex - Senior HR Generalist – 614.850.3250
