      Pros

      I love the culture of Sweetwater! Everyone is willing to help each other out. Don't be afraid to ask questions!

      Cons

      As someone who has been disabled my whole life, I believe that Sweetwater could do a better job at reaching disabled musicians. I think that there is a whole untapped market there.

      Great company with challenges of relocating to Fort Wayne

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great company, great values, if you've ever worked in the MI world, this is the best company, and a great position. On site there is a gym, doctor, barber, diner, walking trail, disc golf (6 holes), racketball court, studio, etc. Great benefits, time off, 401k, health insurance. The opportunity to make money and have a nice life is here, it will take work to get there, and it is work, not all playing guitar or hanging in the studio all day.

      Cons

      Location. I struggled for a few years with the idea of moving to Fort Wayne, IN, it took me a long time to make the final decision to move here. It worked out for me and lots of others, but if this is your first time leaving home, friends/family, with our without a spouse, make sure you are ready for a move. Find stuff to do in town that you like, Fort Wayne has plenty to offer, if you do not explore or find it, you will struggle.

      Pros

      The people at Sweetwater are what make it such a great place to work. Their knowledge, support, and passion create a positive and collaborative environment. The company promotes diversity, inclusion, and opportunities for growth. The vendor perks, contests, and events are an added bonus that make the workplace even more enjoyable.

      Cons

      Compensation for hourly employees could be improved through higher wages and more competitive raise percentages that better reflect employee contributions.
