      GC is a great place for douchebags to work

      Pros

      You can purchase anything new for cost, a great perk. It's a great place to build support for a band, network with other musicians, and meet women. If you have no problem selling people things they don't want or need, you'll do great at GC. If you have a soul, be prepared to lose it.

      Cons

      The pay is terrible and the level of suspicion is really obnoxious. Many of your co-workers are idiots and almost all are in their twenties and immature. It's like being in high school again. Lots of hazing and practical jokes, almost all mean spirited.

      Pros

      Friendly staff, fun customers, great environment to find other musicians, very reasonable management, clean work environment, EMPLOYEE DISCOUNT - this may be the best part.

      Cons

      Well you can't expect much from the door job. Minimum wage pay or close to it, not much room for promotion unless you want to move to warehouse. Sometimes you're responsible for cleaning the bathrooms.

      Cons

      -total lack of respect between sales and operations from management down -poor salary prospects for operations employees -unprofessional and poorly trained leadership teams
