Pros

Great for anyone that loves playing music. Access and discounts to top of the line instruments and equipment. Opportunities for local musicians to network with other musicians

Cons

Only certain departments sell enough products to meet quota on a regular basis. Cannot sell items outside of your department, even if you created the sell.

Pros

Getting to try out the new gear first! Management was great and always trying to push you for more Getting to talk to customers about gear and what they are looking for. Working with other stores to find the right gear for the right customer.

Cons

The company is going through a restructure process, this was good for the company and needed to be done. However it has caused some ripples and bad feelings through some of the staff.
