Not a place for a skilled guitar tech to grow. - Guitar Technician Guitar Center Employee Review

Little room to grow with your skills. While the hourly was considerably higher than a sales associate, the quota made for not enough time spent on a guitar to have it be as good as it should for what the customer pays unless you want to burn out. I retained my dignity by retaining my high standards of quality, making the quota and burning myself out quickly, then resigning. The manager treats you like you're expendable, even if you are doing a fantastic job. I make more money doing it on my own being able to spend three times as long to do the job perfect and better while charging the same price. 40 hours a week pay for 50 hours of work if you include the time you need to be clocked out for cleaning up your work area at night and setting it up in the morning. Negative reinforcement, not good for someone prone to anxiety. Some customers are very arrogant and demanding when they really don't know what they want.
