Pros

Good place to work if you're in school. Retail hours, so very flexible management to work with school schedules. Raises were small and infrequent, but I got a couple of them. Good camaraderie for the most part. It was fine working there earning some money while in school.

Cons

On your feet all day. Once in a while you'll get a nasty customer. Comes with working for retail.

Like with most retail businesses you're required to be on your feet to assist our customers in a friendly, helpful manner. Nevertheless, it's nice to know you enjoyed your time at Micro Center.
