Fender Musical Instruments reviews about "management"

Highly political management situation. Executives are overly consumed with their egos. Many responsible managers avoid managing situations in NPI. Product development process is extremely dysfunctional.

Management unfortunately fixes things that do not need to be fixed

No progression and luck of empathy from upper management

Lack of big picture transparency with employees, driven by unrealistic upper and senior management. Engineering is more reactive to competition than it is innovative.

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!

Management asks for too much a lot of the time and I saw upped management go off or yell at other managers from time to time.

Good luck trying to get a raise, expect more work for less pay, management is a joke.

management is very oppressive and depending on who your manager is, you will get a positive work life balance or hell on earth.
