Pros

The enviroment is fast paced, productive and still very supportive. The company is very willing to provide the tools and support to accomplish all tasks asked of you. I personally have grown on a professional level thanks to these items along with the support I receive from my supervisors. I have been given additional responsiblity as my length of service with the company continues to grow. All of these items have helped to prepare me to do a better job each day and contribut more. Finally, your opinion and insight is always welcomed and appreciated. This is a rare occurence is today's corporate structure.

Cons

With the company being privately held and since it is a smaller retailer, often there appears to not be enough manpower to accomplish all tasks on time or correctly. While this has been frustrating in the past is has helped me to learn to manage time better and push myself harder to reach my departments goals.

Pros

The company continues to grow even in a slow economy. It's great to be working for a company that has a strong vision, solid leaderships and consistent direction.

Cons

Pay structure, bonuses and pay increases are not consistently given throughout the company. Some departments give bonuses for good performance and others do not. Pay increases should be more consistent for those who are consistently providing good performace to the company. The company appears to be reluctant to recognize associates for good performance in fear that this may be cause to give a pay raise.

Pros

Micro Electronics is a growing company with many excellent opportunities for advancement. Benefits such as the Employee Purchase Program and health benefits are above average as compared with other retail organizations.

Cons

Some benefits do not meet the standards of other organizations. One example of this is the 401k program. Most employers match some portion of the employees contributions. Micro Electronics does not match any amount.
