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

There are still some truly talented and fantastic employees here but they're leaving in droves.

Cons

No direction from senior leaders, very little respect for employees, the HR dept. is run by self-centered, back-stabbing people who don't care a bit about employees, only about advancing their own careers. Many employees have either had or are on the verge of having nervous breakdowns and there is no support for them.
