Pros

HUGE employee discount, great staff to work with, and so many ways to help the community and musicians alike.

Cons

The only real con was the company wide hour cuts when I was there, but I don't know how it is going now. I really have no other complaints about my time there.

Pros

Job can be fun being around gear, employee discounts, healthcare (at the time), bonuses could be good sometimes

Cons

Sales Per Hour penalizes employees for working, if the store has slow foot traffic one afternoon or the manager takes too long to close you can lose a percentage(s) of your commission. They usually won’t offer more than a few dollars above min per hour so you’re not really able to make consistent income.
