Pros

Good benefits if you are full time. Guaranteed hours.

Cons

Job duties are made purposefully vague so management can load you up with whatever work they want at any time. Commission is based on sales-per-hour, but most of the time, management will make sales people put away boxes of merchandise for hours or clean instead of selling. They also maintain shady business practices lately when it comes to the Covid 19 pandemic. They force people to quarantine if they are exposed to covid, which is fine, but then if they really need someone to cover a shift, they will force potentially still infected people to cut their quarantine short and come into work at risk of being fired if they don't.

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.
