Pros
Most people are what musicians would call "chill". Laid-back atmosphere, good wages, etc. Some of the below-the-line advertising is fairly basic, but it seems to get the job done. Many employees are ex-rockers, which can make for some interesting lunch conversations.
Cons
For a company who needs to project the anti-authority that rock music imparts, Guitar Center is pretty straight-edge, and somewhat stifling. In this way, work can pretty dull/ mind-numbing. Also, there's no real grasp of web 2.0 concepts, which can be frustrating, esp if you're younger, and your boss has no clue what myspace/youtube is, and refers to it as "the internets"
