Pros

Great discounts for employees. Other than that, there aren't any

Cons

If you are a woman get use to being called "dude" or "Brah". Work everyday. Get no support from District Mgr. Just sell, sell, sell, with no training on their antiquated ways of doing this. No Vacation time first year.

Pros

Discounts on music gear and other items. Benefits to people working 30+ hours per week. Flexible scheduling.

Cons

Constantly changing policies from month to month per upper management. Never enough people on staff. Bad technology for associates. 40,000 different sounds hitting your ears all day every day Fluorescent lighting all day every day just makes you start to hate life. Rude customers. All customers want a discount, and management tells you not to give them one, then the customer gets pissed.
