Pros
Connections if you're interested in the music industry. Great employee discounts. Flexible with schedule.
Cons
What makes the Guitar Center that I worked at hostile is the amount of gossiping that goes. I approached my general manager twice about this situation only to be called paranoid. There is no room for advancement. What makes Guitar Center hypocritical is the fact that their rules and protocols are applied only when it's convenient. For example, some people are scolded for being on their phone while on the job, yet others get to roam around freely on their phones while on the job in plain view of the cameras. Though Guitar Center preaches about how important customer experience is to them, their main goal is to sell to every customer. They have a "no customer walks empty-handed" motto. Their motto to employees is "What have you done for me lately?" With this kind of attitude it's no wonder there is such a high turnover rate with employees. I wish I had known this before I applied.
