Pros

I've never worked for a company that geniunely "walk the talk". Everything you see on the company's website about who they are and what they stand for is all true. I relocated my family here for an amazing opportunity, and though a bit skeptical at first, this was by far the BEST decision I could have made in my life! Not only do customers and employees applaud Sweetwater for "always doing the right thing," but random members of the community boast about either how well Sweetwater treats its employees and customers or how much they wish they'd work there. How cool is that! I'm just excited to be a part of the winning team! #TeamSweetwater

Cons

Sweetwater is the best kept secret for many. I wish more Rock Stars who are serious about living their dreams would apply! That's the ONLY thing I can think of...seriously!

Pros

Food is good, people are cool

Cons

Management sucks. The company as a whole will make more in an hour than you’ll make in a year.

Pros

Usually pretty decent place to work

Cons

I had to quarantine to get tested for covid-19. They refuse to pay me so I'll have to use my pto.

Thanks for your feedback. We added more PDO for all employees earlier this year in part to help them navigate what we knew could be a year filled with extra time off challenges for many. We also introduced a new tax-free, interest-free internal loan program to help any of our employees who might encounter financial difficulties (related to the pandemic or otherwise). If you haven't yet checked this out and have a need, I'd encourage you to do so. Of course, I understand that the challenges of the CDC-directed quarantine guidelines are hard for so many of us - especially those who are unable to be at work to earn their regular paycheck. But our hope is that the added PDOs and other support processes we've put in place can help soften the challenge. - Jeff Ostermann, Chief People Officer
