Review from Sales Dept

I always wanted to be a "professional gamer" and I ended up becoming one somehow by selling at Micro Center. It's not about winning touraments rather making an impact on the world and helping others. I get paid to help people game better. That's a professional gamer!

I love my job and doing my best :)

Review from Sales Dept

Promoting someone who has worked really hard to earn a new role, or going above and beyond for a customer who came in with low expectations/frustration, or helping a peer solve a problem.

Review from Operations Dept

What's going wrong and how can it be improved?

BYO and Systems selling in General Sales is demotivating and makes it feel like General Sales associates are not needed at times except to maintain the department. Customer handoffs also don't happen as often as they should because I sometimes see a BYO associate sell in General sales with no call.

Review from Sales Dept

Dealing with customers is sometimes draining.

There was a long stretch of time when I loved this job, but after a while it becomes dificult to maintain that enthusiasm, especially when things get in the way of what makes us money. I'm not here to work for free.

Review from Sales Dept

There may be a flow of customers but there are dead periods. This is not something that can be controlled.

Review from Sales Dept

Stop adding non commission tasks to commission sales teams or better compensate them during those times.

Review from Sales Dept

The customers are extremely rude and entitled, base pay for commission is way too low, and often times it feels like I'm swimming around in a shark tank while out on the sales floor as I feel like it's pretty much survival of the fittest, or whomever can get in the most amount of sales.

Review from Sales Dept

Leadership for the 3rd time. We are struggling because we were not trained properly let alone trained fully. It's too late to retrain so now we are all stuck clueless half the time. Not even managers know how to do things that techs do. The GM didnt know the full details of one of our plans

Better pay, fairness, and improving the need to fulfill work and life balance.

Review from Operations Dept

increase the employees base pay - i cannot pay my bills with my current salary. MC has a big profit margin - which should be shared with the employees

four dollars an hour .
