1 - 3.0Jun 13, 2023Buffer TechnicianFormer Employee, more than 1 yearNashville, TN
Pros
The work was satisfying. Buffing was very technical and every guitar you touched it felt like you were truly working on something. It made you feel like you were a painter or a sculpter .
Cons
Very long hours. 10-12 hour shifts 6 days a week most of the time. You get a 15 minute break every few hours but with how labor intensive the job was it never really felt like enough.

Long hours, incompetent management, lack of incentives
- 3.0Mar 17, 2023Anonymous EmployeeFormer Employee, more than 1 yearNashville, TN
Pros
- The brand is extremely well known - Many of my co-workers were awesome/really nice - (Up until recently) I had full faith in the senior management, and the direction they were taking the company
Cons
- Unfortunately suffering from similar "covid boom" retraction FAANG underwent, with over hiring during the pandemic, and now layoffs - Layoffs were non-performance based, so it seems like upper management kind of just threw a dart at the board and saw what it hit - There was usually a lot of red tape, and hard to get net-new projects off the ground
