Gibson Guitar – “Great brand, horrific CEO....Do not accept a position at this company.”

Pros

Great brand! If you love guitars, you'll love the products.

Cons

Henry Juszkiewicz, the CEO, is simply a horrific leader. He is the most incompetent executive I've ever worked with. Henry is mentally unstable and incapable a dealing with high quality professionals. Good executives last 3-6 months then leave on their own accord, or because Henry fires them. Not only does Henry lack professionalism, he lacks the self confidence to be around high quality professionals.

Advice to Senior Management

The current owners should turn the company over to professionals. Gibson will always be an underperformer as long as HJ runs the company.
