Robust Benefits

Pros

Robust benefits for the overall size of the organization - which is small. Benefits offered represent feedback from employees, trends in the market, and are competitive with other companies. The path of where the company is going is intriguing and good for the health of the business - and can represent an exciting time for the company and the employees. Continues to be innovative and look for ways to be a strong employer.

Cons

Not enough time-off to be competitive with other companies.

Hi there, thank you for your feedback in regard to the benefits offered at FMIC. Our employees are instrumental to the success of our company, and our goal is to provide affordable and quality benefits that will meet the needs of each employee and their family members. Our benefits team is one of the best. Seriously! Our Benefits Manager won "Benefits Professional of the Year" for her outstanding commitment in getting employees actively involved in both wellness initiatives and retirement programs. By understanding the needs and listening to the wants of our employees, our benefits staff is able to provide rockin' programs that keep everyone happy as well as healthy. For example, we heard that employees were unsatisfied with our time off program. Starting in 2016, we will be changing our tune and offering a bank of PTO rather than the traditional time off system. This will give employees greater flexibility and more freedom to use their personal paid time off however they see fit! This is just one great example of efforts that are being made, but there certainly are areas in which our benefits could improve still. However, the team is working hard to provide a well-rounded, unique, and practical benefits program, and employees will start to see some of these improvements in the upcoming open enrollment!

Pros

Great brand and many passionate people. While many changes are taking place, it's a great opportunity to be part of the evolution of Fender.

Cons

Fender may not be a great fit for someone who wants a very defined role, or doesn't respond to change well.

Pros

Fender is an international company with a product that never goes out of demand. Incredible passion for the company's brand and line of products is unmatched.

Cons

Organizational restructuring is a challenge. The employee discount on Fender products is a little convoluted. Everyone in the company loves to buy Fender products but the ordering method is complicated.
