Pros

Great Amenities for Employees. Learn a lot about music gear and music retail.

Cons

It takes a special person to do tech support. There isn't much recognition for doing well, though that's improving, but our goals are always a moving target.

Pros

Amazing deals on gear, you get to meet a lot of professionals, hands on gear, you get to freely express yourself, and company trips. It's all about "Doing the right thing" here. The company also invests a lot in the workplace to create an amazing environment for it's employees. From the sales floor to the warehouse employees, to even the custodians, everyone is treated with respect.

Cons

Long hours, Roller coaster on pay, commission based (can be rewarding) but base pay is low.

Pros

You are not micro managed and are free to be yourself on the phone. How well you do here is determined by your work ethic, maintaining a positive attitude, and doing the right thing for your customers. If you treat this as a career, not a job, the sky is the limit.

Cons

Some days require long hours, but nothing too excessive. Early morning meetings twice a week, but these do help you learn about new products. They happen for a reason!
