Pros

Great opportunity, meet industry idols, make dreams come true for others, nearly unlimited earning potential, great company culture, friendly staff and management, tons of fringe perks. It's a pretty dream job... just be realistic that it is a JOB.

Cons

It snows in Fort Wayne....

Pros

Beyond ethical treatment of both employees AND customers... Actually CARING treatment. A constantly innovative approach, and very careful steps for growth have lead to astounding success, and there are assurances in place that the business model that has lead to Sweetwater's success will be in place for many many years to come. This company treats it's employees as family members, in the best sense.

Cons

When you come to work here, be prepared to be pushed to the limits of your abilities constantly. (Not sure if this is a bad thing, but if you are lazy, or prone to trying to game the system, look elsewhere.)

Pros

The company not only offers many opportunities in professional growth, but personal growth as well. Sweetwater has helped me continue on a constructive path to become successful financially and in my personal life as well.

Cons

This job is not easy. It is not for everyone. However, Our HR and management is very upfront about that and you know well in advance at how difficult it is. I do not see this as a downside, but if you are not up for a real challenge, this is not for you.
