Pros

Music atmosphere was great. Employees were great.

Cons

Upper management played favorites and played politics. Having a new executive come in and favor newer employees over older employees who were under a manger that they do not prefer is terrible for morale.

Pros

Relaxed atmosphere, meaningful projects, ability to make an impact on corporate functions with your internship, meet higher-level executives and learn about different aspects of business from them

Cons

Musical instrument market is very saturated, not a lot market share left to capture, Fender lags behind innovation curve on most corporate advancements, long-tenured employees make company resistant to change
