Guitar Center Employer Reviews

Customer Service, merch department. reach sales goals I have learned how to read people and adapt to many different cultural backgrounds. My coworkers are a handful to deal with because its diffult to work in a retail sales inviroment because everybody is worried about themselves all the time. I think the hardest part of the job is sales in this present – more...  economy – less

Working there was a Fun,and Unique experience.The ability to Test out the Newest Equipment and make recommendations to customers to fit any budget.Coworkers were friendly, courteous, and a management were within reasonable,goals and expectations. The hardest part of the job was having to leave it for another that I was college educated for.Meeting celebrities – more...  was always a blast,especially when THEY think your "your just there to sell them something", and when you pick up an instrument to show them, you can run circles around them,or at least show them,you've got the same talent,was my most memorable experience. – less

I would come into work, call customers to let them know about sales, clean the area, sell gear etc. The management was great. My co-workers were great. The hardest part of the job would be making commission. The most enjoyable part was helping people make music and learning about gear.

You get to be around some cool gear, but they don't truly pay for performance, their commission structure is designed to ensure your failure.

lot's of music fun people to work with great envirment to meet people

shipping and recieving ,everyone works together.enjoyable workplace.

The job as a whole is alright. There are the usual things that get to you like hearing "Smoke on Water" fifty times a day. A lot of the employees had HUGE egos so it was like a constant competition on who the better musicians were. Our General Manager of the store was only 21 so that caused some issues. He had his obvious "favorites" that he would let – more...  get away with things more than others so it made the work experience for the more experienced employees very stressful. – less

Great place to work if you are a musician and do not have a ton of financial responsibilities. Cool people, good discounts on gear. The downside is that the hours necessary to make a living given the 100% commission pay rate make it virtually impossible to have time to actually play music.

i liked this job because i got to work around musical instruments, everyone was friendly and worked together.

I loved guitar center, i loved the customers, team members and had the best expirence there out of all the jobs i had. Everyone was family.

I am so thrilled to have had the pleasure to work for Guitar Center. Not only is it an exciting, thriving business, it is comprised by people with a passion for music and great customer service - both external and internal. I, thoroughly, enjoyed my experience at Guitar Center.

Company has gone from public to private ownership within the last five years bringing many changes to structure. Company is editing itself from within and slowly getting back to its original focus - the customer.

Guitar Center is a wonderful place to work at, even though it made be hard to get in. Everyone is friendly, like to joke around, and absolutely everyone love MUSIC! I really enjoyed work there, plus they are very flexible with you having to play at a gig.

Guitar Center was a great place to work not so much because of the specific work environment, but because of the atmosphere the entire store exudes. Great place to work, always a pleasure to deal with both musicians and the beautiful instruments sold there.
