Pros

Company environment is unbearable. From shows to festivals to day to day life.

Cons

Employees and management can be a revolving door sometimes, making it hard to keep people interested on the warehouse side.

Pros

Great pay and benefits, no micro-managing managers, honorable company that does the right thing for the customers, knowledgeable skilled team members, focus on improvement, working with music gear (what we are passionate about), company has a great reputation around town, Fort Wayne has a low cost of living and you are able to save up money and provide for a family well, lots of good training to keep you sharp, and just a great company culture.

Cons

Tough to get time off during holidays (because it’s retail and it’s the busy time of the year), no remote work option, much time spent on a computer or on the phone (desk job), sometimes it can be tough to get time off at the times you want off depending on how busy it is (requires planning ahead a bit), income can feel low for that first year as you establish your base of customers and experience a lot of rejection. But it really picks up as you stick with it!
