Pros

- Some excellent coworkers who understand the value of music education - Quality instruments that are taken care of daily - Many of those who have been at JSI are hardworking and know the value of what they do and put out into the music community. The mission does occasionally hold strong.

Cons

Higher management continues to shut down and not recognize real time problems in the work place. Months leading up to September and on into rental season are awful and have put stress on the ENTIRE Waltham office. CEO is clearly showing lack of enthusiasm for what his family built.

Pros

Mostly nice co-workers, some of whom are motivated

Cons

The CEO resents employees with original ideas The COO refuses to communicate with staff, fearing a negative reaction (which is a self-fulfilling situation: you don't commmunicate, people start to dislike you, etc.) If you're in "the club" of senior staff, you're generally OK and free to badmouth any employee who challenges you to think.
