Pros

Amazing brand and products. The people who work here incredibly talented, passionate about their jobs and the quality of the products. The company is making some exciting changes that I believe will re-inspire old and new musicians alike.

Cons

Business has been changing non stop for over 6 years. Have turned over 3 CEO's, each with different ideas what direction to take the company. There have been many rounds of layoffs and have lost some incredible talent. The "family" culture is almost completely gone. Most recently they have shifted the majority of business operations back to California, leaving many employees that have been with the company for 15+ years to relocate or succumb to forced resignations.

Pros

- super chill enviroment - great collegues - huge rock and roll culture - not super demanding depending on yearly projects - lots of fun activities year-round - great place to start your career; use it as a launchpad

Cons

- poor leadership; truly, IDK where they get these leaders from - you wont get any help, expect to be thrown in the deep end - frontline workers complain a lot, makes it hard to implement things
