Pros

Benefits are offered You can listen to music Overtime available

Cons

Micromanaging The definition of mediocrity Management never listens to employees that are working with the product hands on Takes forever to get a promotion or a raise Don’t encourage employee growth EVERYTHING is seniority based Only promote for within to underpay and avoid paying outside applicants Take advantage of employees at every opportunity They make your employee guitar take forever so you can’t leave, if you leave your order is canceled Don’t pay out vacation time when you leave Seems like a dream job but is really a nightmare

Pros

Work alongside a true genius and living legend. Meet fascinating people that have been in the musical instrument manufacturing business for decades. Very skilled and creative people putting their blood, sweat, and tears into flawless products. Solid work/life balance. Talent does move up in the company, often to very cool positions.

Cons

A very blunt and personal management culture may require some getting used to if you come over from a different industry or the corporate world.
