I left before the company went downhill.

Pros

It's like a fun factory for musicians and music enthusiasts.

Cons

No room to grow unless you are in sales, but that is minimal. Pay is minimum wage. It's a starter job, but don't think of it as long term. The best perk was the company discounts, but I think they have really taken that away. I worked back in 2010.

Pros

Can be a fun job. If you have passion for the gear it is a great fit.

Cons

Since the takeover the company has lost management who understood the business. The payroll goals put on stores lead to a cheating experience.
