We welcome your feedback about the name capture. If you make your greeting to all check-out customers friendly and professional, you should have no issues with name capture.

Pros

Good place to work if you're in school. Retail hours, so very flexible management to work with school schedules. Raises were small and infrequent, but I got a couple of them. Good camaraderie for the most part. It was fine working there earning some money while in school.

Cons

On your feet all day. Once in a while you'll get a nasty customer. Comes with working for retail.

We also review our associate's compensation regularly to ensure we stay competitive in our markets. Like with most retail businesses you're required to be on your feet to assist our customers in a friendly, helpful manner. Nevertheless, it's nice to know you enjoyed your time at Micro Center.
