      Pros

      Good staff, great training, no need to pay for own supplies, pretty much everything is covered. Great place to start but few opportunities to grow.

      Cons

      The kids and parents are extremely entitled and management will often side with them

      Pros

      I loved working at Merriam Music. This is a perfect position for the newly graduated music student. I finished my Masters in Voice Performance and was looking for a position that would help me stay in my field and begin to dig my toes into the working world of music. Merriam music is a place that allowed me to continue to grow, while I was able to foster a love of music in my students. They also were very supportive of my auditions and musical pursuits, and always allowed for me to find substitute teachers in times when I had a performance or other musical commitment. It is also important for me to say that my co-workers and my management team were top notch. I feel that I have made some lifelong friendships, and never felt any concerns speaking with my management team about any issues that arose. This is a wonderful company and I highly recommend it as a choice workplace for young musicians who are interested in teaching!

      Cons

      There were only a few cons to this job in my opinion. I worked in the Vaughan location, which has less amenities than the Oakville location (ie Recording Studio, Cutting-edge Performance Space, Enriched Programs are run out of the Oakville Location only). As a result of this, the Vaughan teachers didn't always feel that they were getting the best elements available for their students. The benefit plan is also not so great for part-time teachers. Looking forward, as I will likely be having children in the next few years, I was wanting a better benefit plan.Those are really the largest cons to this job in my opinion. I was very happy with all the other elements of my job!
