I have a friend of mine who is thinking about going to work for our local Guitar Center. He asked me what I thought. I know what I think of them as a company, but as far as a good place to work, anyone have any experience or know someone who did? He thinks it would be fun as he love to be around gear all day and give his recommendations to kids looking to start or advance to better gear. Thoughts?
anyone ever work at Guitar Center?

Some of us here did our time...and then GTFO of there...lol
I did a stint as a manager about a decade ago, between a music marketing firm and finding a gig with a music instructional company. Got downsized, thought "Hmmm, I know sales and marketing, and I know a ton about gear..." Seemed logical at the moment. But what you "think of them as a company"? Probably not far off from the truth, I bet.
Sucked in a way, but at the same time, got to see all the cool gear first, made friends with some of my heroes, which led to some tech-work, gigs, eventually a better job...etc...cool place to network, if nothing else. Can't completely discount it, experience wise.
But I hear it's even harder to make a decent wage as a salesperson there than ever....Originally posted by conmee

All sales is pretty much long-hours. I know guys who have done very well in the car business but they live at the dealership. I was a stock broker and that was long-hours as well if you were to make any money at it. You have to know the product, you have to know the customer, and match the product to the customer. A good car salesman will walk the lot early in the morning and know what's on it and have that information in their head and be able to recall it when discussing what the customer wants.No!

One trick big companies like to do with commissioned sales people is they hire an experienced salesman, let him build up a customer base and then make it so miserable they quit. Then they replace the seasoned guy with lower paid rookies to handle the accounts. You also don't want to be a sales person for a company that competes on price only. You want to work for a service oriented company because you become part of the customer satisfaction strategy more than a gun for hire to move product.No!

Yep, by design
