Pros

good people, great discounts, you get to be around music all day! Its a great place to network, make friends, and learn about business

Cons

Store managers are basically a sales manager and a opps manager....Music & Arts seems to always add more opps, procedures and projects that cut into time when you could be working towards your personal sales goal. You really gotta choose your battles and work a lot of hours if you wanna be successful. Probably more hours that what the salary is worth

Fun place to work, upper management has no idea of what happens at the store level

Pros

You can practice instruments in your spare time. You get satisfaction in helping beginners start their musical careers. Easy to get time off. I really enjoyed the other associates I worked with. You get to network with a lot of teachers and other musicians.

Cons

Very poor benefits. You are often judged based on unrealistic sales goals. Upper management has absolutely no idea about the challenges associates face while working in the store. The store is basically geared towards beginners - there are no professional level instruments (you have to order them) and there is poor sheet music selection. During rental season, Music & Arts does an awful job at informing customers about security deposts, which makes for awkward transactions on the sales associates end in trying to explain why this was not communicated to them.
