Guitar Center reviews

.....well where do I begin... Literally over half the entire team I joined with in October for lessons was either fired or quit before two full months had passed. They had the tenacity to fire myself and my co-workers without giving any notice whatsoever. I was literally fired one morning before work. every time they fired somebody the circumstances were both morally wrong and quite frankly stupid on their own behalf. They make you stay so true to their "curriculum" that it is basically a script. I was told that I have 30% freedom over the way I tought my own students and 70% Hal leornard chapters. Oh yeah Thats also so they can scam you on selling their books too. They pay $9/hr + an $11 spiff on any hour where a lesson was thought. This can be good but it is also bad. If they chose to schedule you for four 30-minute lessons back to back then you made $40. I wish this was common knowledge but here's the whole truth guys. You want quality private lessons? Then don't go to guitar center to get them. Go almost anywhere else. I can't garuntee that you won't be ripped off as much as guitar center will do to you, but I can with certainty garuntee that the rest of the world has far, far better quality on average. That is the whole truth.

60% pay cut from 2007 to 2015!!!! Terrible logistics No foresight from upper management, we got destroyed in the e-commerce space by Amazon, Sweetwater and just about everyone else. Nearly all of us vet GC guys that remember the good old days are gone.
