Pros
Guitar Center fosters a terrific work culture. I've met some incredibly kind, hard-working people in my position who have a profound passion for music & the instruments themselves. Everyone from the sales representatives to the store managers form an excellent team.
Cons
Corporate consistently makes our jobs harder, whether by arbitrarily changing employees' hours, dragging their feet on officially promoting employees who are already working in higher roles in order to fill a vacancy, or whittling away at commission rates. They also require the Lessons instructors to be on site while making them clock out in between lessons, which seems like a violation of labor law. Making minimum wage while having to carefully handle & pack thousands of dollars worth of merchandise on a regular basis is also pretty irritating.
