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.
I love working at micro center so much, its to the point my friends and family see it and want to share that experience with me.
I have found the perfect combination in my role at Micro Center, where I can put in practice my sales experience with my IT knowledge. I truly can't imagine a better company to be a part of.
The company has been treating me very well. My direct managers are extremely nice and respect me as a person. They also respect and appreciate the work that I do. I do wish there was a pathway for me to grow in the company to gain more responsibility help justify a better compensation.
happy i joined this company
