Pros

Sales associates recieve up to 3% commission based on sales per hour

Cons

Employees are referred to as replaceable and do not recieve enough hours to live. Management roles strip you of commission and the role formerly referred to as sales Manager is now a "senior sales associate" position where the only positive reinforcement is commission and full time status, at which you still don't get 40 hours a week. If you fall below your sales per hour goal by even a single cent you will be fired.

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.
