      Pros

      I love the idea of networking with other employees, customers and the rare artist that comes in the door. I think if you love music and giving your full attention to the customer and building with them as individuals its great.

      Cons

      1) You work off of "commission" which basically means they will find any and all reasons to short you your money for the month if they can. 2) Integrity isnt a key component to this company. It used to be but now the focus is money and only money. 3) Management is a clique. There is nobody to keep them in check and so the regular sales man suffers or quits.

      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.
