Pros
Depending on the location, Guitar Center is a great place to work. If you know about gear, love music, and working with musicians it's even better. The environment is upbeat, diverse, a lot of noise, and deal making. The Labor Day Sale when everything is cleared out of the warehouse and brought onto the floor is the best. Management is great at motivating and building rapport with the sales associates. Everyone is willing and ready to help you out, for a cut of the sale though.
Cons
The only downside was the downside. Unless you have great connections in the industry, it's pretty tough to make a decent check on a consistent basis
