Pros

It's a nice place to start, In other retail environments i didn't even feel like it was possible to move. In micro center it's an expanding business and moving around the store or through stores if need be is possible. It's not just about selling the most expensive stuff, It's about getting the customer what they need and if they don't want it then your not going to have your hours cut to nothing cause of it.

Cons

Passing the buck or favorites are played in multiple stores, If this was fixed it'd be a much better place. It's commission on the floor and certain people are fighter jets over it. Current Scheduling system is eh.

Pros

Good place to get your feet wet with real experience as a computer service technician before moving into a career. Good co-workers.

Cons

Outdated information systems. Very unstructured. No universal protocols or guidelines for ANYTHING (administrative procedures, forms for customers to fill out, forms and reference material for employees, etc)
