      Operations Associate - Operations Associate Guitar Center Employee Review

      Operations associate

      Pros

      Physical job. Employee discounts on gear. Minimal customer interaction.

      Cons

      It's a big box store. It's all about he bottom line for both Operations Managers and General Managers. As an operations associate your sole purpose is to serve the sales team (read: dispose of their waste) who are more often than not unappreciative and disrespectful. Low incentive for promotion unless one wants to run their own store someday. That combined with the pervasive top-down bully culture that permeated the place, I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

      Pros

      Sweet deals and discounts Coworkers are very pleasant to work with Good as extra income Good for aspiring musicians to network with experts of the industry

      Cons

      Obsolete softwares Scheduling system software that is thenmost imperative tool as of it will be the backbone of a lesson lead for your team of instructors success it's also somewhat obsolete amd constantly crashing both IT and Upper management are aware. IT is very diligent and pleasant to work with but Upper management expects their lessons lead to work and deliver at 100% capacity while they continue to have an operating system that only works at 75% capacity, just beware of that and if you're willing to work under those conditions. With that put there go at your own discretion. Nobody gets Christmas/winter holiday vacation time off, also go at your own discretion on that one especially if you have kids and family looking for work-life-balance.
