Pros
I have been with Sweetwater for eleven years. I specifically use the word "with," because the relationship to my employer is symbiotic, healthy, and I feel quite strongly that we're all in it together. Having developed a sincere interest in making each customer's experience an exceptional one, I've learned the value of taking ownership of my own perspective. One of the most valuable life lessons I've absorbed up over the course of my career is that of mindset, of my own growth being mine to command. There are few other jobs I've had that could foster a meaningful culture of iron sharpening iron, and I feel quite fortunate to support and be supported by a strong team of people that have become family.
Cons
You are responsible for your success, or your failure. Some people cannot accept this, and it's not for everyone to row their own canoe.
