Unfortunately not as cool as the product

Pros

Cheap guitars, hard working employees, very talented employees both musically and with their contribution to the company.

Cons

Don't speak your mind, retaliation will ensue. HR has a "cool kids" crew. If you aren't in it, they will make your life the worst.

Pros

-Discounts -You can mostly wear what you want (some managers literally where backwards hats and chucks) -A few solid managers to balance out the bad ones -Good software/tools to complete whatever it is you're working on. -Great IT department assistance -Experts on every part of guitar building available to ask questions too. -If you want to move up its possible but, requires work outside of work to influence that outcome.

Cons

-Raises are virtually nonnegotiable. Managers seem to have little to no influence over your raise. Expect cost-of-living or less unless you move up in position. You'll get excuses like "it's just not in the budget this year" even though they hit record-shattering profits that year. That money is going somewhere just, not to you because you are not a priority. -Cringeworthy "woke" messaging on display monitors and laced within company emails.

Pros

Most co-workers are wonderful. Casual work environment. Hours are usually flexible.

Cons

HR Dept is a joke. Managers are skewed and differ greatly in their treatment of employees creating an unfair and unbalanced environment.
