It's 2020 and we're hiring despite it all.
Yes, 2020 has been crazy, and yes we are hiring despite it all!
We approached 2020 with a bullish plan to continue the aggressive growth trajectory that earned us a place on the Inc. 5000 list of fastest-growing companies in America in 2019. The first part of this plan involves a massive addition to our current building with a 200% increase in warehouse space. The second part of our growth strategy is even harder than building a massive warehouse- finding the right people to grow our team.
We were uncertain when COVID-19 started to dominate the news of what would happen to the economy, and specifically what might happen to the HiFi market. These unprecedented times have brought many challenges but they have also affirmed how strong our business model is. The customers we serve are enjoying their HiFi hobby now more than ever as they stay at home, but as we all face economic uncertainty, they are looking for more value for their musical dollar. This is the promise that The Music Room has always been driven to deliver.
From our humble beginnings operating out of a garage in the wake of the 2008 recession, we knew our business needed to disrupt the old way of selling HiFi gear. We were relentless about finding the most time and cost-efficient processes to deliver great value and build trust with our customers. 10 years later we have become the largest and most trusted source for pre-owned HiFi equipment in the world.
Knowing that COVID-19 and the fragile economy are not slowing us down, we are working tirelessly to continue growing our team. We believe that finding the right people has always been and will continue to be a key to our success.

Want to learn a little more about what it's like to work at TMR?
Here is what our team has to say:
Working in sales at TMR is a once in a lifetime job. You get to really drive your own workflow, almost like running your own business inside of TMR. All of our sales associates work mostly remotely, so there is a lot of freedom and infinite room to grow professionally. - Karl R.
Being able to work in an industry that is so fun, and allows us to actively engage in our love of music combined with the fact that we really are a family here. I love the people I work with and consider them my extended family. - Lauren H.
I think the most unique thing about TMR is building an ecommerce business that is constantly balancing two-sided transactions. We market to sellers and buyers alike and inspire trust and deliver value that is truly changing an industry. - Matt H.
Core Values:
Process - We value Processes because solid processes allow us to get the details right more often. Details are important to our customers, and efficiency is critical to a healthy bottom line. We need people that help us create and maintain standard operating procedures that support efficiency and execution of the details.
Teamwork - Teamwork is essential to healthy growth. We want our customers to experience a tight, well-rehearsed, error-free, harmonious and rhythmic “performance” with every transaction. This requires clear communication, humility ("we" not "l"), positivity, emotional intelligence and role-players that are never too big for a job of any size.
Hustle - A fast-paced, energetic work environment is part of our lifeblood. It's what keeps our competitors "safely in our dust." Our most valuable team members are able to work autonomously while maintaining a sense of urgency, and they show "grit" when the workload increases.
Innovation - Innovation is in our DNA. We are NOT a "cover-band." We are trailblazers. Disrupters. Industry outsiders. There is no roadmap for where we're going, so we adapt and overcome new challenges along the way. Where others see obstacles, we see opportunities. We embrace technology and thrive on solving problems with a youthful mindset and entrepreneurial spirit. We are not just running a business here. We are building one.
Passion - Underlying all of these values is a sense of passion, and this passion must come from within each individual. Motivation and a commitment to excellence will never be explicitly asked of you but is always expected. Music is our ultimate passion, and we are driven to give life to music through a genuine love and care for the work in front of us.
