Pros

Opportunities to get discounts on cool new stuff, but only like 10% off (which normal customers usually get that to 25% off depending on the season). And you have to work there for at least 6 months to qualify for their benefits and discounts.

Cons

It was okay working at Guitar Center, except for management would forget my schedule and i'd be reprimanded for showing up on time and expected to work later than schedule if no one was available. Alot of Communication issues.

Pros

Employee discounts are the biggest reason why people work here, as the discount is really good.

Cons

Your experience working at Guitar Center will largely depend on which store you work at. Some stores have a good management team and employees and are fun to work at. But a lot of stores do not have a qualified management team and they have a staff that is not fun to work with. My location needed a new store manager and instead of promoting the ops manager who knew the store better than anyone else and was with the company for 15+ years working at multiple locations, corporate instead promoted a customer service lead who had been with the company less than 2 years and didn't have management experience. These are the people that corporate decides so often to run their stores.
