Does Micro Center pay Computer Technician employees well?
How happy are Computer Technician professionals working at Micro Center?
Is Micro Center a good company to work for as a Computer Technician?
From what I gain I can deal anywhere from 9 to 40 systems a day repairing, diagnosing, troubleshooting, and building. Even though this is considered a retail position, I have been offered full-time and have 0 IT experience, but am A+ certified. Would this translate over to a more "proffessional" environment if I stayed here for a year and had something to build a resume on?
Microcenter is awesome for looking at all of the things I can't afford.
On topic: I would shoot for any position IT related. Experience is everything especially if you have none.
Thats entirely up to you. I have never been inside of a MicroCenter but it seems like a retail store like Best Buy or Office Depot, but geared more specifically to computer parts.
If thats true, look up average pay for a computer technician in your area (usually 10-15/hr), and decide if youre ok with it. Generally theres not much room for advancement unless you ascend to phone/laptop repairs or management. With retail stores it seems like its less computer/technical work and more customer service and selling shit warranties with every purchase. But, If you stay with computers/networking you can use this experience to jump into a helpdesk/junior system admin at a big company. They like people skills and some tech background and can train on enterprise level technologies and hardware.
I would say if you can, find a smaller mom and pop computer shop thats still making money and get your real tech experience there.
