Pros

Minus the VP's and Executives, most people here are great... They all love music, so how can they be bad right? Oh wait, they could call in sick to work every other day leaving you to cover their projects while management does nothing to better the situation.

Cons

The pay is very low for anyone less than a director so good luck finding an apartment you can afford within 1 hour of the office. The 101 traffic will consume your soul. There might be an option to park your van in the parking lot and live there...

Pros

Sweet deals and discounts Coworkers are very pleasant to work with Good as extra income Good for aspiring musicians to network with experts of the industry

Cons

Obsolete softwares Scheduling system software that is thenmost imperative tool as of it will be the backbone of a lesson lead for your team of instructors success it's also somewhat obsolete amd constantly crashing both IT and Upper management are aware. IT is very diligent and pleasant to work with but Upper management expects their lessons lead to work and deliver at 100% capacity while they continue to have an operating system that only works at 75% capacity, just beware of that and if you're willing to work under those conditions. With that put there go at your own discretion. Nobody gets Christmas/winter holiday vacation time off, also go at your own discretion on that one especially if you have kids and family looking for work-life-balance.
