Pros

Good Pay Nice Coworkers Good temporary Job

Cons

Managers will ask you to clean and do projects when base pay is 4$/hr and all money you make is from sales. If you open or close, you only make 4$/hr during that time

Thank you for your review! We appreciate your honesty and taking the time to share your experience at Micro Center. We understand your perspective on the compensation structure for Sales Associates. During opening and closing shifts, there may be times dedicated to cleaning and project work to ensure a smooth operation for both customers and associates. While the base pay reflects non-commissionable hours, our commission program is designed to reward strong sales performance. If you have any questions or suggestions on how we can improve the associate experience, we encourage you to reach out to your store manager or HR representative. We're always looking for ways to enhance the work environment for our team members. Thank you again for your feedback. Best - Jennifer Rex - Senior HR Generalist – 614.850.3250

Pros

Customer obsessed culture with a strong emphasis on expertise and service. Leadership is highly engaged, with consistent focus on coaching, accountability, and development through structured one-on-ones and daily execution rhythms. Clear expectations across sales, service, and operations create alignment on what success looks like. The organization provides exposure across multiple business functions, allowing leaders to build well rounded operational and commercial skill sets. High performance environment that rewards ownership, initiative, and results.

Cons

As a smaller, specialized retailer, organizational growth and upward mobility may take longer compared to larger big-box companies. Resources and infrastructure are still evolving in certain areas, which can require leaders to be more hands-on. High expectations and pace can create pressure during peak periods, requiring strong prioritization and resilience. Some systems and processes have a learning curve, particularly for leaders coming from larger, more standardized organizations.
