Pros

Great people--my coworkers are still some of my closest friends. Excellent and ongoing staff training. Work becomes your life. If gear is your passion like it is mine, you will love it. "Burning"

Cons

Being on your feet all day. Not a big deal compared to how much fun the job is. But the guys always complained about their feet hurting and good shoes were a must. Heavy lifting. Everyone complained about back problems. Work really becomes your life. Gear has to be your passion. "Burning"--if you don't want to work open to close as often as once a week or more, this might not be your thing. Again, if it's your passion go for it. I used to hate leaving work even after "burning."

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.
