Pros

Great people, fun times. Always enjoyed working & loved being around fellow musicians all the time.

Cons

Working off commision is difficult - especially as a part time employee. Management is unprofessional. Mostly men work at GC which is a pro, but as a woman I did encounter the ocassional harassment issue. Management always took care of it though.
