Sad to see iconic brand being destroyed by incompetent CEO and Investment group pirates! - Management Fender Musical Instruments Employee Review

Pros

Great to be around great instruments and friendly colleagues.

Cons

The company culture was good until the CEO was replaced. Larry Thomas changed all this. He has made one bad decision after another and replaced good people with his cronies from Guitar Center. They are disliked by the employees, their suppliers and their customers. The sooner they are gone, the sooner Fender can try to recover if it can.
