A Great opportunity being ignored

Pros

The music products industry as a whole is pretty exciting. The people are creative with a passion for music. That creates a culture of family that extends beyond the company to include the customer base.

Cons

The industry is challenged by both economic issues that limit discretionary spending and competition from other options that create stimulus to young people - bringing a base of new customers to music instruments is very difficult. The company has had its own challenges to due Sr. Leadership that was under qualified to deal with the issues and created huge financial losses. A new team is in place and working to restore the companies position and equity

Pros

Great to be around great instruments and friendly colleagues.

Cons

The company culture was good until the CEO was replaced. Larry Thomas changed all this. He has made one bad decision after another and replaced good people with his cronies from Guitar Center. They are disliked by the employees, their suppliers and their customers. The sooner they are gone, the sooner Fender can try to recover if it can.
