Pros

It is a lot of fun and hardly feels like working! I love teaching lessons and being guaranteed two hours of pay each time I go in. Great, relaxed atmosphere and extremely personable staff and management. Benefits seem great so far.

Cons

I wish the pay for instructors was better. I have a Master's degree in Music Education and I get paid 4 times as much at another local Music store to teach lessons.

Pros

Sweet deals and discounts Coworkers are very pleasant to work with Good as extra income Good for aspiring musicians to network with experts of the industry

Cons

Obsolete softwares Scheduling system software that is thenmost imperative tool as of it will be the backbone of a lesson lead for your team of instructors success it's also somewhat obsolete amd constantly crashing both IT and Upper management are aware. IT is very diligent and pleasant to work with but Upper management expects their lessons lead to work and deliver at 100% capacity while they continue to have an operating system that only works at 75% capacity, just beware of that and if you're willing to work under those conditions. With that put there go at your own discretion. Nobody gets Christmas/winter holiday vacation time off, also go at your own discretion on that one especially if you have kids and family looking for work-life-balance.
