Micro Center Reviews

Pros

Coworkers are very nice and willing to help you on even small things. Managers are highly professional and supportive. If you are pursuing a career to improve yourselves and keep learning, here is an excellent choice. Diligence is paid and appreciated. Salary is competitive and many benefits are applied to employees.

Pros

Fun talking to customers, pretty decent management that would mostly stick up for me and other associates, pays well for having no experience (but you have to work hard to reach the top level of pay for general sales)

Advice to Management

Please do not neglect project pay, if you ask your sales associates to work on a huge project around the store while still hitting 6 + customers per hour give them a boost when they work hard as opposed to punishing them for doing one of their many jobs on the sales floor

Pros

Great start into the IT Industry

Pros

The culture of Micro Center is very warm and welcoming. The employees are friendly, they have great attitudes and genuinely care about each other. From what I have experience most people are very happy with their positions in the company, as a lot people have been with Micro Center for 15+ years (or longer)

 The culture at Micro Center works to promote self-growth to better each individuals skills, in both job skills and behavioral skills through reading leadership books and doing training. I can easily say that the management is by far the most engaged with their employees that I have ever personally experienced in my time working in other corporate offices. The managers care about each individuals growth and are personally invested in each member of their team continuously taking action steps to improve themselves. To my knowledge the company has never done lay-offs and they keep budget costs down through wise spending. The work life balance is good, management cares to make sure that you are only working when at work and clocked in, my role does not impede with my personal life. The pay is very competitive and management works to make sure you are happy with your pay. Management works to ensure that the workload is manageable at all times, they care about your own experience and is always open to feedback to improve. Overall great company and wonderful employees! 10/10

Advice to Management

Keep up the great work!

Pros

Commission pay rewards those who work hard, and getting to help people with tech issues is always fun. The employees are usually pretty good people to work with, and I remain friends with most that I still know. The scheduling is fairly flexible (as long as you don't need too much flex) and the benefits are good.

There is also no attempt at all to provide anything close to a regular schedule, but this is probably just retail issues.

Advice to Management

Either pay your employees more for time spent not selling to encourage the extra stuff to get done, or hire a merchandising/stock team to get that work done. Pay the janitorial staff you already have to vacuum. Match your employees 401k's (even Best Buy does this). Pay your A+ certified techs a competitive market wage. If an employee wants up training into management or any other position, MAKE SURE IT HAPPENS! Create a program that encourages growth into other aspects of the company (not just Sales) and gives them the opportunity to do so.

Pros

Usually not a very demanding job. Thanks to the internet, customers tend to know what they want before entering the door, so atmosphere is pleasant.

Advice to Management

Upgrade your infrastructure so it doesn't require so many meaningless workarounds.

Pros

Great company culture, nice co-workers. I've worked for Micro Center for 2 months now as a temp. I love working here! Your effort is highly appreciated and worth it. As long as you are willing to work hard, and demonstrate your value, you don't need to worry about not being seen or being paid unfairly.
