Members Crescent Seven Posted March 10, 2009 Members Share Posted March 10, 2009 And I promptly quit. They were like "yeah, we need you to be flexible with your school hours." I'm like "WTF?":D Essentially the dude was suggesting that I cut back school or quit altogether, and joining a band? Forget about it. The job search slog continues...

Members Crescent Seven Posted March 10, 2009 Author Members Share Posted March 10, 2009 "You DO realize you're just a guitar center... Right? I hope?" Seriously. I won't sell my soul for $7/hr + commission. At the very least I won't quit school for it. "Dude, our top guys are making $50k a year!" Right.

Members JeffBass Posted March 10, 2009 Members Share Posted March 10, 2009 The guy who sold me my Spector at GC was very good. His nickname was Doc and he was smooth on that bass. Nice guy too with plenty of answers. I could have fun working there because I'm such a gearhead who enjoys reading bass/amp reviews and talking to people. Once I was there and noticed the salesman was struggling to answer some young guy's questions about GK amps. I was standing there so I offered up a few answers to the young guy about bi-amping, gain, boost, speakons, etc.., and the guy's like "cool, I'll take the amp!". The salesman's says "great" and thanks me! "Hey where's my cut?" I said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members solderjunkie Posted March 10, 2009 Members Share Posted March 10, 2009 I sold an upright bass for a local shop (the salesman couldn't play), then asked for a 10% discount on my Eden cab... they said "no":evil: I left Eden cab-less.

"Dude, our top guys are making $50k a year!" Right. C7 Top guys here make that easily. We don't have a GC though. I've got to say, I loved selling guitars. Mike's been doing it for... 15 years now. 4 weeks holiday, always flexible around gigging schedules and kids, he gets to wear whatever he wants, the job comes with health benefits... one could do a whole lot worse.

Members Incubitabus Posted March 11, 2009 Members Share Posted March 11, 2009 I could put in a good word for you at one of your local Apple Stores. One of the guys who works at my store left his job at GC to come to Apple. He's a lot happier now, since the base pay is higher (no commission, but most commission jobs aren't seeing enough business to make it worth it), and because they're a lot more flexible on scheduling. Keep in mind, you would be selling Macs and iPhones, though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I interviewed there once, but not for a sales position so I have no idea what they make. btw, Devils beating Flames == awesome. I'm glad I decided not to go to a pub to watch the game, because some ass would probably throw a beer at me in this jersey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
