Micro Center has provided a great job experience.

Pros

Micro Center is a great company to work for if you want to grow as an individual. There are often chances to build your work ethic and this in turn gives many chances to move up through the company. Starting at even the basic sales associate level gives you many opportunities and room for growth. In fact Micro Center encourages growth and assists by providing monthly training exercises. These training exercises help associates keep current with technology that is constantly changing.

Cons

The schedules can be pretty demanding, and due to the fact that it is a retail job there is rarely consistency in your days off and you can't have vacation for a few months around the holiday season, but the store is closed on major holidays and closes early on other holidays.

Pros

1. Decent Pay. 2. Good Employee Discount. 3. Co-workers are pretty nice.

Cons

1. Ideas are often scoffed at and then adopted but with no credit given. 2. Hard to have much of a life outside of work as you work almost every weekend. 3. While the pay is decent in no way compensates for work that is done and any promised raises won't happen. 4. Ability to move up is little as even as an internal candidate you don't get interviewed for positions that you apply for. 5. Technology that we sell is awesome. Technology that we use to sell stuff is antiquated. Why can't we get something better than a Fedora-Linux POS system that has been pieced together and is free to use? 6. Communication is terrible. Upper management doesn't communicate with anyone until after they need to know stuff. Things don't have to be a secret all of the time.
