Thanks for the 5-star review. It's great to hear you enjoyed working with Micro Center in Brooklyn. We have incentives in place to help our CSRs add to their base salary. With 5 stores in the NYC area, we review internally for promotions before turning outside the company. All the best to you in your future endeavors. Sincerely, Leslie Whitley Regional HR.
