Pros

Honestly management are good guys that mean so well. Kick a** on the floor and They will work with you thru ur bs. If you're passionate about music you'll be surrounded by like minded individuals. There's always something new to try or learn The customers are just as excited as you to be there. The gear sells it's self Great step into commission based sales if you understand the equipment and take the time to really learn how to work that high earning gear and sell it.

Cons

The pay kind of makes you depend on commission, and commission varies greatly throughout the year. You're going to have a couple slow months and you're going to be eating some ramen noodles but Christmas is steak and eggs 😂😂😂 Very young leads. Gung ho and knowledgeable about music but as green as they come. Lack of diversity Tunnel vision often gets the best of a few in their "rushes" and they loose their head 😂 Upper Management tends to spend more time in the office than on the floor actually helping the leads with the issues they could improve on. (Goes by numbers to manage )
