How employees describe working at Micro Center
I feel that General sales is not needed at times because of FAB 5 and sometimes I see sales where there is no cpu attached from BYO and no one calls for General Sales. Overall I feel demotivated to work especially when told I'm not reaching my customers per hour or service plans.
