Pros

If you are a musician with a great deal of knowledge of music products, then it can be nice to help customers get what they truly need

Cons

If you think you are playing guitar all day, then this is not the job for you The company does not care about the workers on the frontlines (in the stores in front of the customer) and are out of touch with their customer's needs and the current music sales culture
