You'll get an email that sets up an interview, and then you'll be interviewed as part of a group. You'll have to take a test with a lot of math and grammar questions. After interviewing each other, you will need to present one of the other people in the group. You will be given specific scenarios and asked how you would handle them.

I went through two rounds of interviews where I spoke individually with the main sales managers. They asked me questions that were pretty relaxed but still covered enough ground for me to understand my background and why I applied, and then they showed me around the store.

I applied online through Microcenter's website back in 2022. Got an email offer for an interview and set it up. The interviewer called later to push it back a few days. On the interview day, they rescheduled AGAIN, moving it up an hour earlier than planned. They did this by calling me about 10 minutes before they wanted me there (Luckily, I was ready since I had no other interviews that day). I asked why they were hiring, and the interviewer mentioned he had let go of some sales staff due to punctuality. Not sure if the rescheduling was a test or just cluelessness. The work culture didn't seem awful at first glance. I chatted with many employees, and they generally liked working there, saying the pay, including sales commission, was good for the area at that time. My advice: check your local minimum wage laws before accepting an offer. Microcenter's policy was to pay as low as $2/hour plus commission, but they'd meet local minimum wage if commission didn't get you there. So, depending on store traffic and local minimum wage, it could be rough or quite competitive. They concluded with a weird multiple-choice 'ethics test' from an outside company. I'm not sure what they were looking for, but I think that's where I got weeded out. My advice to anyone interviewing is to study up for it beforehand.
Confirmed questions2 questions
- There was an "ethics survey" at the end.
- I recommend studying for it, which sounds insane I know; but their questions were not very well grounded in reality or tailored for the business/position.
