The store associates are the only positive when it comes to culture

Revisión Publicado hace 3 años

Absolutely nothing. The only culture is grief. Nothing is ever good enough. Morale has never been lower.

Revisión Publicado hace 3 años

The most positive would be employees teaching and growing together of all ages and all origins for one love, music. If you have a side job or a gig, your schedule can be very flexible. The longer you stay the more you learn and learning at Guitar Center, nevertheless, working there can be very fun.

"Company Culture" is irrelevant to employees who feel hated by their company.

Revisión Publicado hace 5 años

Experience in management abilities, not freshmen managers makings drastic financial decisions.

Revisión Review del Departamento de Atención al Cliente · Publicado hace 7 años

Incentivize kindness, and enforce a culture that does not require employees to work more than 45 hours per week. But currently, the company culture seems more interested in grinding people until they quit due to exhaustion and frustration.

Revisión Publicado hace 8 años

The office needs to treat the field with respect. Furthermore the leadership needs to change. Literally everything in the company is managed through negative reinforcement. There is a culture of call out. The people at the office protect themselves by blaming the store fire their poor decisions.

Revisión Review del Departamento de Ventas · Publicado hace 7 años

The company needs better leadership and what's important and what isn't needs to be reevaluated.
