Pros

Good discounts when possible, good hours, fellow employees were fun, but the good ones do tend to leave, finding jobs with much better pay.

Cons

Upper management is a joke, incompetence runs rampant. If you are regular sales associate you never get commission. Lots of work for so little pay. Guitar Center companies lure you in with "great discounts", but it's not what it is hyped up to be. Insane employee turnover all the time. Sell or be sold!

Pros

Great advancement opportunities if you come in at the right time and show promise. Decent compensation if you're willing to bust your butt.

Cons

Some managers are just clueless, and think they have it all figured out. When in all actuality, they just happened to do well at the right time to get the bump.
