Pros

Great people, awesome musical gear. Positive working environment and flexible with schedules. Most employees are musicians therefore its not like any other job

Cons

If you are not motivated, you will hate working here. It is a commissioned based company which is good for people who are driven, if you are lazy....you wont make it.

Pros

Biggest MI retailer, decent stock on hand. Some good managers at some locations. Some good people at corporate.

Cons

Workers always expendable. No appreciation for employees that actually still play music. My way or the highway attitude from management. Company culture is horrifying.
