Guitar Center reviews

This place is extremely competitive. I mean that I have NEVER worked at a company in which no matter how many years of experience I have, this place makes you seem like you are the dumbest person ever. They seem to make it their purpose to knock people down instead of building up their team. I work in an area where you have to interact with several different people in different capacities and different levels of management. From what I have heard from SVP down is that this place is competitive and each person in the room does their best to tear the next person down. This is not the environment where a "team" environment is fostered. From the top to the bottom is very "I blame you". Speaking on top level management, this place is extremely heavy in "titles". There are SOOOOSOOOOOSOOOO SOO many Directors, VP, SVP that the managers are really coordinators or at least doing the work of a coordinator. I believe they have all these titles to get people to work for them because I cannot see how anyone else would want to work out here if they have down their research they would truly know better. The salaries are not competitive with other companies in the area and it takes about 20 people to make a decision unless you are an EVP. Enough said...you get the picture!!

Management does not recognize people's efforts. There is an overwhelming feeling that management is out for management (bonuses and EBITDA). They drive hard to deny small incremental salary increases for the regular folks, but the "C" level management does not want to give up those perks.
