Pros

Privately owned. Exciting technology and people that care about it. You get to be around some of the best consumer technology on the market.

Cons

Culture could be more professional. Gaming culture definitely steers the social environment. Hard to get things around the store fixed/replaced.

Micro Center Response

Pros

Pretty great place to work overall. While management of course has their goals to reach, everything is dont with the knowledge that at the end of the day customer service is the most important aspect of retail. Co-worker relations are pretty great as well.

Cons

Other than the occasional irate customer, it's a tad short staffed. However management is willing to work with schedules and outside life events.

Pros

Good Money during holiday seasons; fun staff. Great discounts and easy on boarding process.

Cons

high turn over; less than 5 dollars an hour, in other words if there is no one to sell to youre not going to have a good paycheck.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts and we wish you the best in your future endeavors. Angie Miller VP-HR
