Pros

You can make a lot of money with commissions. You get to be around fun, beautiful instruments all day, every day. Buy instruments at cost value.

Cons

one of 3 female employees in a staff of 30+ Told by multiple male employees that my success in sales was only due to my looks Constantly having sales stolen from you/having to participate in a sales shark mindset to.rrach sales goals set for you Having to do extensive learning modules while maintaining, stocking and cleaning the busy floor and making sales. Sexual harassment by customers and coworkers, including harassment of minors (employed by GC) by customers and employees which wasn't taken seriously. Split shifts that make life extremely difficult (ie. Work from 9am to 5pm then given a 2 hour lunch, then work 7pm to 11pm)
