Leadership grinds your bones to dust and make guitars out of it. - Anonymous Fender Musical Instruments Employee Review

Pros

Cool brand with a great history.

Cons

Abysmal pay for the workload assigned. Teams sizes are purposefully kept "lean" to reduce opex spending, and burnout is very common. Zero accountability for team members who don't contribute their fair share to minimize team workload. No room for upward growth, even if you exceed expectations of your role or volunteer to take on more complex projects. Avoid working here at all costs. It's not worth the mental/physical toll.

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
