Corporate as hell

Pros

good discount on gear flexible-ish hours, mainly in the sense that managers come from musical backgrounds, and understand the need to have a day off because of a gig opportunity depending on the location, the ability to make a lot of money per hour if you bust your tail Fairly lax, sometimes.

Cons

Often pushed towards working in situations with no possibility to earn commision while management favorites make sales extremely corporate, there is never a bad guy as there is always someone higher on the ladder to shift blame to worked in the busiest guitar center in the country, most likely, and was often scheduled 2 weeks out as the only associate on a given shift, left to tend to thousands of customers for 8 hours. corporate will often cut labor budget at random for stores and part timers are left with one shift a week at most serious issue with culture of the store, absurdly masculine. felt like i was in a locker room was a loyal employee for years, and was one of the most reliable hard workers in the store, and was let go for a logistical scheduling issue that harmed absolutely nobody
