Pros

The people you meet and the relationships you build are AMAZING. I have made some life-long friends here.

Cons

Management is TERRIBLE! They have been caught in lies and discriminate against their employees flat out telling them that they cannot advance because of their mental disability. I took it to HR and NOTHING was done. When people say "employees don't leave bad jobs, they leave bad leaders", this is particularly true in this situation. With the EXTREMELY high turnover in the department I was in (people also leaving because of the incompetent leaders) We were constantly given the workload of 2 or 3 people and criticized when it wasn't all done to their liking. They tried forcing OT, however many of us couldn't do it. Why you ask? Many of us had to have second (and some even third) jobs to make ends meet because they refuse to pay a living wage. Their justification is always "but you get to work for Fender" or "you get to work with guitars!". That doesn't mean $#!t when you treat your people poorly or don't pay them enough. They refused to give me an exit interview, likely because they were too afraid to hear the truth, so here it is, for all to see!

Pros

Great brand and overall really great hardworking people who want to succeed.

Cons

Executive management is toxic and narcissistic. Success is theirs and any failures are at the expense of others. Celebrating successes rarely happens and people are constantly looking for opportunities to leave the company for one that will value and respect them. Great place to work surveys were discontinued because they came back so bad.
