Guitar Center reviews

Terrible training, no corperate integrity. Pretty much steals peoples money then leaves the store employees to take the blame. Horrible benefits outside of equipment discounts. Outdated operating system and website. Pour communication from all levels of management. No training but high expectations. Plan on getting thrown into a dumpster fire then immediately blamed for the dumpster fire.

District managers and above have not only drunk the kool-aid, they've taken a bath in it. My DM was not only a terrible person but he was also incredibly bad at his job. I received more customer complaints about him than anyone I've ever worked with. Upper management does not care about the staff or issues at the store level. All they care about is selling pro coverage, getting gear card apps, and hitting goals. Now, obviously, they're a business and making money is the name of the game but I've found that they don't care what you have to sacrifice to get there. I was working between 60 and 80 hours a week and was told it wasn't enough. My boss cared so little for the well being of me and my team that it became a running joke. During a zoom meeting with all of the store managers he actually said "I don't care if the building is on fire. Sell pro coverage in the parts that haven't burned down." They push out anyone who isn't an automaton. It's maybe the worst company I've ever worked for.
