Pros

Love this place, while all other retailers are opening on Thanksgiving and trying to get as much sales as possible . Micro Center stays closed and doesn't do crazy hours on Black Friday. And this year Rick Mershad our CEO has done something unheard of in retail by closing Micro Center Stores will on New Year's Day so that our employees can be with their family. I can't express how great this is for the associates and how great of a place this is to work! Also Skip Dwyer is a great District Manager. Thanks Rick!

Cons

No cons at all, simply the best job in retail, Open more stores, We need one in Florida, Charlotte, Raleigh!
