Pros

- You will learn knowledge about current technology and computers. - Provide training - Big discount on high margin item like cable etc, not so much on the rest.

Cons

- They pay $4 for your training, most of just skip to the end as we are commission base. - Once you enter into System, there will be conflict of interest for commission, and usually seniority comes first, then whoever is the best salesman. You are nothing if you can't sell. - Same goes with schedule, last employee will always be working at the worst shift which you spend 2 to 3 hours getting $4/hour doing hard labor which is way below min wage. - There are literary only 2 holiday for you. Thanks Giving and Xmas so you will enjoy working 5 days a week with $4 + commission. - You get pay the same, forever, people who work there for 10 years get pay the same as 1 year. Only way you can make a differences is by selling more high margin item which bump up your commission %. - You are forced to work during holiday

Pros

The pros of being a CSR at Micro Center include a very positive working environment, with friendly CSRs and dedicated leadership who are all happy to help you when needed. Getting along with other CSRs and the FELs has been extremely easy as they have all been very welcoming and knowledgeable. You also have the opportunity to learn a lot about everything at the store so that you can effectively and efficiently help customers with anything that they need.

Cons

The only cons about the job are that you may sometimes have negative experiences with customers as well as not knowing about small, intricate details that actually have pretty large effects. It can also be unclear about what opportunities there are to advance in position, as sometimes management doesn't maintain communication with workers unless it's about something the worker did wrong.
