Pros

Great pay and compensation for full-time employees. If you know about computers and technology, Micro Center is an easy job. It is commission based for sales associates, but the job is simple. Most of the customers are great and listen when you make a recommendation, as well as your fellow associates. This is a great job for people with social skills, since you will be talking to customers face-to-face. Management is very understanding, but they have limits.

Cons

To make a decent paycheck, you need to know computers inside and out, as well as parts and technologies from the past 10 years. It takes a lot of research and personal time to stay on top of the latest and greatest, and they do not always have the most relevant trainings. If you work on the sales floor, much of your paycheck may be spent here because of how close you are to the product you sell.

Pros

A few good co-workers Employee discount A large break room Ability to move around the company

Cons

Being forced to sell only to customers who are buying a high dollar item. All customers looking for a small item are blatantly ignored, even when asking employees directly for help. Customers who are not buying high dollar items, are passed off to the only coworker willing to help people. It is not possible to give good customer service and make decent money. You must choose.
