Pros
Great discounts. At the time it was base cost +10% on most items. Like-minded co workers. Lots of aspiring musicians and interesting people.
Cons
"Fading" hours - essentially every dollar you made on the clock you would have to pay back with your commission. If you ended up making more commission than your minimum wage salary, they would pay you the minimum wage and the difference in commission. Things like closing shifts (an hour of working with the store closed), merch parties (several hours after the store closes before sales), and morning meetings were all 'Faded' against commission. In addition, most new employees don't even understand this until after their first month there when they DON'T get a commission check or it's less than $50 for the entire month.
