Pros

Fantastic atmosphere. You get to work with some fantastic people. Employee discount is great on a select few items. Getting on managers good side will make a world of difference. Management is open to listen to complains.

Cons

Promotions are based on friendships or cliques. Most managers are self righteous and can do no wrong. Expect to be blamed for things you didn't do. Salesmen get a base pay of $4/hr. If you work in general sales expect to do manual labor for the meager base pay. If you work in any other sales position it's okay for associates to stand around and talk, and do far less work for far more pay. Managers don't take complaints to heart.

Pros

Good Employee Benefit Nerd Heaven (Cons too when it is more of see only no touch, or YES YES give all your paycheck back to Micro Center) Employee Discount (only for some of the merchandise)

Cons

Training What training? They allow you to follow someone for 1 week that it. Since he is somewhat your senior who does not get pay training you. He does not care, on top of I am not going to teach you trick of the trade. Warehouse system(Almost does not exist) Everyday is a treasure hunting day! Unfair pay Early and Night shift = Micro Center is going to pay you $4 an hour to work like their slave. Commission Yes, it is going to be your bread and butter. If you are not good with selling and rush your customer through the exit, you are going to get $6 an hours. Oh yeah, during summer, Micro Center's managers are going to stare at you so you could work for them $4/hour without customers. Lies They do not uphold their promises. They promises my paycheck to be etc, I am one of the best in my department and my pay is no where near what they claim to be. Position We will move you to etc department. 1 year working with one of the best sales guy. Their reply still unfortunately the department does not have any spot open. You can wait and see if they open up. Employees with low morale & does not care The manager only care for schedule, security of goods, and profit. I understand they have quite bowl full in their hand, but employees constantly taking break for hours.

Pros

Great place to work. Commision based so you are on your own.

Cons

I hate the fact that when you sell a customer on a complete solution and items state they are in stock. And when you look for this particular item you realize it is missing. Very Frustrating.
