Pros

Brandname, the majority of products and the pay are all great.

Cons

I am still working at this company. Since the top management got fired, everybody fears they are the next. Top management = CEO, CTO, COO, CFO ... all are gone. There is absolutely no guidance, vision or mission where this company is headed to. Hell, everyday I come to my desk I ask myself why I should still make a good job, when I believe they fire me anyway in few weeks or months from now. And when I look around, everybody thinks the same. This is a very zombie like company and this will destroy this company. On top of that, bonus has been cancelled, there is a travel ban and all expenses are on hold.

The dictatorial of Gibson.

Pros

- Harmonious work environment among lower management. - Strong shared organisational values among lower management. - Strong brand in music instrument industry.

Cons

- Micromanaging dictatorial CEO, paranoid, erratic and juvenile. - Sensitive communication regarding firing of management team was made public to set example. - Delegation to lower management close to nothing. Essentially leaving no room for "innovation". - Market share of organisation in strategic free fall with little done to address core issues. - Unrealistic expectations to revive dying brands in consumer electronics. Unable to meet market quality and pricing demands. - No internal growth. Global promotions regarding hiring and firing in hands of CEO. - No employee development in terms of providing training.
