Pros

Store level employees will become your good friends.

Cons

Corporate is the absolute most stunted group of people I have ever worked with. If they couldn't pay you, they would.

If one has already gone through the process of interviewing and getting an offer, in my experience, a counter might buy us a year before the Associate leaves because they've already checked out and think we could have paid the higher rate all along which just causes agita. I hope you are finding your sound with your new gig.

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.
