      Pros

      Co-Workers Atmosphere Time-Off Policies Employee Discounts Great company to work for. Loved building customer relations, doing product demonstrations. Just an all around great job.

      Cons

      Call-Sheets Competitive Nature of Co-Workers/Assistant Managers Undermining Sales by Assistant Managers AM's can sell things from out of your department without you having a say, making you no commission. AM's used to take full advantage of this and sell hundreds to thousands of dollars from under you or take a cut in the commission percentage because they told you that you "have to." Working in a department like drums (like I did) you're struggling to make commission on a monthly basis. It's just a cheap shot and unprofessional.

      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.
