Pros

Crazy employee discount. Coworkers are usually cool, dress code is pretty lax (aside from having to wear the shirt which is whatever). Commission can be good but it kinda has to be since they'll probably pay you minimum wage on a part-time schedule

Cons

Rarely hire people full time to avoid giving benefits. If your numbers don't meet the company's arbitrary goals they'll write you up and punish you by cutting your hours. POS system is incredibly convoluted but they'll spend more time training you on how to be a salesman than how to actually use the program required to carry out the sale.

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.
