Pros

Higher paying wages compared to other music lesson places They do a decent job at trying to find students

Cons

Guitar center does their absolute best at angering off customers. They nickle and dime everything. Charge unnecessary fees during sign ups. Force students to be on an autobill system where the student realistically wont ever be able to go to all the lessons they pay for. They have cheap lessons spaces. Unorganized and the corporate management structure is based on greed and butt kissing.

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.
