Guitar Center reviews

Without A.M. access you are limited to what information you can access. Crucial numbers to let you know costs (retail, wholesale, manufacturers, actual) are unavailable without an A.M. You need them to make almost all transactions. And while you wait, with 3 pissed off people who need your help and want to buy things, he is selling things in any department he wants to whoever he wants. You see, he's working off commission just like you are. The difference is he's hung around long enough to get those golden passwords that allow him to make a living while you never make above minimum wage, for lack of selling enough gear. Unless you have secondary income and just want to use the job as a way to make money and turn around and stock up on gear with your discount, this is a terrible job. If you like playing music going into it, you won't by the time you leave.

The commission hike is not large enough to compensate for the added responsibilities, and you wind up making less money in the long run because you spend too much time with store operations and not enough time selling product.
