Pros

Working with great people, a super understanding boss who helps me grow as a salesman, learning more and more about gear every day. The pay isn't great but this is the first job I've had that I looked forward to going to (I've been working since i was 17, I'm 30 now with a college degree i have no intention of using). This is the first time I've been at a job where I've actually wanted to stay, after filling my résumé with office jobs and other random opportunities. I was promoted after 3 months, I'm aiming to keep moving up.

Cons

THE LOUSY PAY. I'm scraping by. If i didn't love it so much, i would've left long ago. Maybe one day it'll wear me down enough that I'll leave. Seriously, i would hate to be at a job i love and feel like I'm not earning anything at all, like I'm grossly wasting my time :/ i dont want to go back to a more conventional, soul-sucking job!

Pros

Great co workers and management support. Absolutely fun work environment with very few bad customers.

Cons

Pay wasn't enough. Some people are able to make an incredible living out of it, but that's mainly in the pro audio department.

Pros

Can be very fulfilling if you love sales and gear. You get to make people's day, have set schedules, and everyone I work with is cool for the most part. Great discount, plus you get to see and try out all the new gear. Also, lots of room for advancement, most of the managers and general managers and even some of the highers ups started off as sales associates for the company.

Cons

You have to be aggressive to be a top guy in the store and I am, but many of my coworkers just sit back and hope the sales come to them, then they complain about not making any money...(go figure) Pay isn't great (I made 25 K last year, im not a manager) but its livable.
