private:guitarcenter https://www.indeed.com/cmp/guitar-center/reviews Apr 10th, 2024 10:08PM Open Open Open Guitar Center Music Teacher Colorado Springs, CO Fun place to work I have worked for Guitar Center as a Music Instructor for about six months now. It is a good workplace. The management are understanding. I like the laid-back environment and I feel like I can be myself there. I also like the autonomy given to lessons instructors. There is a curriculum provided to use, but instructors are encouraged to use their own lessons if they like. One drawback is the lack of hours, this is definitely not a full-time position. The hours vary with the demand for lessons, so it's more of a supplemental job. Casual environment, employee discount, friendly staff difficult to get a lot of hours there, pay is not great 0.0 0.0 4.0 5.0 5.0 3.0 3.0 4.0 Apr 12th, 2024 12:52AM Apr 12th, 2024 12:52AM Guitar Center Consumer Services General Retailers

We have a job for you! What is the best part of working at the company? Used to be discounts and used gear. That was all greatly reduced while I worked there. What is the most stressful part about working at the company? Selling warranty upgrades on gear that you know doesn’t need it. What is the work environment and culture like at the company? Corporate jargon trying to disguise as musicians. What is a typical day like for you at the company? Unloading trucks while working for commission because they cant staff the warehouse. 0.0 0.0 1.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 Apr 12th, 2024 12:52AM Apr 12th, 2024 12:52AM Guitar Center Consumer Services General Retailers

private:guitarcenter https://www.indeed.com/cmp/guitar-center/reviews Apr 8th, 2024 09:28PM Open Open Open Guitar Center Sales Associate Rockford, IL NOPE. The pay ain't there but the unfairness is! Save your soul & avoid this dumpster fire company. Unethical vulture culture: the green screen nightmare machine. Guitar Center is the MacDonald's of music stores; the sad part is in some markets the work culture is extremely toxic. You can be fired for no reason. The pay is not there; that is laughable. The knowledge of the workers and management is skewed by age in my area and it is also laughable. You make more if you sell (and are prodded to sell) the 'coverage' which is often bogus, as everyone knows. The quality of the house brands at the place is poor, as everyone also knows, and they are so uncaring with their fine instruments that they are often hung high in the store in a bright light & high heat environment, warping and harming the guitars we were supposed to sell. The fact this occurs as a normal part of operation is ironic at best and very sad at worst. It's a company that is tanking and isn't about employees or quality anymore; they pretend they are but, they ain't. The company is not kind. Not a ship I recommend sailing on at this point--you will be abused by co-workers, customers, and managers. Most enjoyable part of job: leaving. The company pretends to be ethical and cool but - they really are not. They have failed in that estimation. Discount on music gear, Flexibility, Feeling entitled and cool for working at a music store. Low pay, Abuse by co-workers, managers and customers, terrible company radio station you must listen to, Sabotage culture in management. 0.0 0.0 1.0 2.0 1.0 1.0 1.0 1.0 Apr 12th, 2024 12:52AM Apr 12th, 2024 12:52AM Guitar Center Consumer Services General Retailers
