Guitar Center Claimed Company
"We have always known that our success comes from our people, but to put it through this lens, we want all our associates to look left and right and see themselves, knowing that Guitar Center is a place where hard work, good ideas, and culture thrive. What they hear from leadership needs to reflect this vision. That means a diverse collection of men, women of all backgrounds and experiences at all levels of our organization. As candidates consider Guitar Center, we want them to know this is who we are and they will feel welcomed here. That’s how we will continue to stick around for another 40, 50, 60 years."?

Inexperienced outside hires taking the leadership roles over experienced managers that are ready to move up. GC has an uncanny knack for screwing over loyal employees.
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Listening to Frontline workers. Increasing pay and benefits. A base level of human decency.
What would you improve about your company's interview process?
Stop doing group interviews. Actually interview the candidate instead of talking about yourself the whole time.
What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?
Absolutely nothing. The only culture is grief. Nothing is ever good enough. Morale has never been lower.
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
Low-ball pay. Overworked, understaffed. Have to beg for annual merit increases just to get over 50 cents. Huge disconnect between store manager and ops manager pay.
What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
Common sense. It's hard having to juggle more and get paid the same as someone who doesn't have near the experience or tenure or know how to even accomplish a fraction of what needs to get done in a day.
