We would like to say that our culture is based on excellence and integrity. We always do our best----and then push harder to do even better. That has nothing to do with "shame" and everything to do with providing the best possible service for our millions of highly satisfied customers.

Pros

Extremely well run company. Expectations are clear. Many talented people on staff. Tremendous commitment to training. Lots of perks, self-contained campus. Real estate extremely affordable.

Cons

Not much room for creativity. Culture is very conservative. Location is a big limitation (Northern Indiana). Upper management not very accessible.

Pros

Sweetwater is a place where, if you're able and willing to work hard, you can make a great professional life for yourself. It's awesome. Kinda all of it.

Cons

It's not for everyone. It's a shirt and tie atmosphere and you have to work hard to succeed there. I personally think that's a positive thing, but some might think it's not.
