Pros

- Great music culture - Great place to do friends

Cons

- Salary is subpar, not even market competitive. HR will tell that is, but is always in the lower end of the bracket for salaries for each position. I can deal with stress, dead lines, large volumes of work, but at the end of the day is how much the company thinks you are worth and how much they pay you, On this, Sweetwater fails miserably.

Pros

You get to work with musicians and instruments. Some good benefits and a good work culture.

Cons

The pay is below average and promotions are politically dictated. "Passion" doesn't mean you should pay less. Pushback against remote work and a slightly dated culture.

Pros

Discounts for the gear was nice. Most fellow employees are cool people.

Cons

Management and the never ending chase for more calls. All statistics now instead of a family culture.
