Gibson Guitar – “Horrible Employer”

Pros

Pretty good pay, if you already know how to work on guitars. Benefits are comparable to other companies.

Cons

I actually left on good terms, but feel the need to warn others about this company. You will never know for sure what your schedule is. You may be told Friday afternoon that you're working saturday, after being told all week that you probably won't. You will never know for sure when you are working, and when you will have time off. You may be approved for a day off months in advance, and then be told days before that its not happening. We once worked from 6am-9:30pm and stood around for hours with no work to do, not knowing when we were going home. As other reviewers have said, the problems start at the top. The owner Henry is terrible, and very unpredictable. I worked all over the factory and every position is the same. Literally the dumbest, most impossible to understand company i have ever worked for.

Advice to Senior Management

Management isn't the problem, ownership is. They are sadly at Henry's mercy.
