Pros

It is really enjoyable being able to work with customers and be in an environment like Guitar Center. It's fast paced, and if you're good at pitching and selling, then you can make a half decent paycheck. And though they're constantly getting less appealing, the benefits are still pretty useful for active musicians.

Cons

Upper management does not care about employees or customers, everything is about the bottom line. They are constantly changing company policies, and very rarely for the better.
