Pros
On the outside, Sweetwater looks like a great company to work for. Most the employees are enjoyable to work with as are most of the clients/customers.
Cons
The biggest flaw with this company is the patronizing micromanagement. This company is quickly becoming behind the times and their high employee turnover is evidence. Sweetwater touts progression in it's publicity and "green" building, but the way they treat staff and their inflexibility is anything BUT progressive. Rigid schedule, inflexible hours, lack of vacation time, horrible benefits, micromanagement, etc. They treat sales staff as if we are "lucky" to be working there and are completely disrespectful of our time. Work-life balance is not encouraged in any way.
