• Best thing

  The pay isn’t bad. Most coworkers are cool.

  Worst thing

  Corporate doesn’t understand or care about who is “beneath them”. They need an actual HR department. Corporate is mean and disconnected from reality.

  Sales associate at Guitar Center, February 2025

• Best thing

  Get to see, test, discuss, etc all kinds of new gear as it comes in. Also get to work with people across different musical backgrounds and make new friends.

  Worst thing

  Management and corporate have a serious disconnect between what is reasonable and morally good and what is necessary. Everything I'm told makes me feel like what they truly would want me to do is to swindle people out of their money to meet my numbers, and us sales associates are put at fault for the decisions of the customers as if it's our fault they don't want a credit card or want and extended protection plan after our sales pitches for those.

  Verification specialist at Guitar Center, January 2025

• Best thing

  Sense of purpose. Doing a good thing for the world. Friendly Coworkers and immediate managers. Freedom to teach how I want. Mostly good students and families.

  Worst thing

  Upper management not understanding, level of mobility. Lack of pay relative to other teaching gigs. Subscription system for lessons is predatory takes advantage of customers (in my opinion) and drives away the best students.
