I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Guitar Center (Chicago, IL) in Jul 2014
Interview
All applications are done online. They give you a call if they're interested in interviewing you in person. They ask you about your music gear, preferences and what you do in the industry. They basically try to gauge if you are actually going to be someone who can do sales and not just some musician who wants to be around guitars/instruments all day and not do their job.
Well thought out interview pretty easy, I thought it went well but didn't get offered a position. I still feel like they are a good company although I heard they changed there commission structure in the past few years.
Simple and to the point. They want to know if you fit into the company culture. They also want to know what your skill set is as far as musical ability. It is very easygoing and relaxed
I interviewed at Guitar Center (North Olmsted, OH)
Interview
Felt like I was being interrogated or discriminated against, as if this were an important career. Dude, you hire high school students. Give me a break. Avoid applying to guitar center.
