We're pleased to hear that you found the pay and employee discount to be positive aspects of your experience. Regarding your comment about the role feeling more like a sales job — we understand how that perception can arise.

This service-based recommendation model is part of our effort to ensure customers receive the best long-term value and care for their devices. The commission structure tied to this work is communicated during the hiring process, and we aim to support our technicians in delivering both expert service and helpful guidance. We appreciate your time at Micro Center and wish you all the best in your future endeavors. Best - Jennifer Rex - Senior HR Generalist – 614.850.3153
