      Pros

      Love this place, while all other retailers are opening on Thanksgiving and trying to get as much sales as possible . Micro Center stays closed and doesn't do crazy hours on Black Friday. And this year Rick Mershad our CEO has done something unheard of in retail by closing Micro Center Stores will on New Year's Day so that our employees can be with their family. I can't express how great this is for the associates and how great of a place this is to work! Also Skip Dwyer is a great District Manager. Thanks Rick!

      Cons

      No cons at all, simply the best job in retail, Open more stores, We need one in Florida, Charlotte, Raleigh!

      Pros

      At the time I worked there Apple was going through their boom with the iPad (1 & 2), and some good computer updates, so it was a good time in terms of commissions and products to sell. As well, I learned a lot more about hardware through some pretty interesting problems presented by customers. Co-workers throughout the store were all pretty nice. Being able to buy electronics at cost (or close to it) as an employee. A bonus at the time was a trip out to Cupertino for Apple Training. Not sure if this is still going on.

      Cons

      It is a retail environment if you are at a store, so there are all of the hassles that go with that (irate customers, working a closing shift then coming back to open...) Before the store opens, and cleaning up after closing, you are basically working for below minimum wage since there are no customers to add to your commission for the day. When I was there those times were trending up little by little to get the things done that weren't possible during regular business hours. Hopefully they stabilized or went back down. I don't really like sales, so it didn't really fit my personality over time.
