Pros

Sweetwater really cares about the customers, our employees, and how people are being treated.

Cons

The company is growing so quickly, its easy to see people you don't know around the building. Not really a con, but its just a great place to work.

Pros

The company is google like in the way they treat their employees and provide for their people. They truly are looking out for you and want you to succeed. As long as you communicate with management, there really shouldn't be anything that goes wrong. It is pretty hard to get fired, more likely you will leave on your own accord, if it ever gets to that, then get fired.

Cons

There are really only two things I can even remotely list as cons and that would be that time off is thin and sick days also count as vacation days... and you do not get many. The other would be the cost of insurance. It will not break any records for being cheap but there are ways to take extra tests to lower the cost per pay check.

Thanks for the positive review and kind words. We are currently conducting a survey of our employees to get their feelings on a number of topics, including our current benefits offerings. We constantly are striving to improve, so stayed tuned as we continue to evaluate the internal data we're receiving on this topic. Jeff McDonald, Senior VP of Human Resources
