Across multiple managers, in multiple roles, in multiple departments, my managers have always cared about me as a human being, just as much as they've cared about my success in the role(s). It's refreshing to work for a company that encourages such a holistic approach to employee management.

I believe they want what is best for Sweetwater and thereby the employees. I think there is a passion for what we do and who we are. That passion for the business expands to the people who work for the business.

I am eager to grow in the company, and have no understanding of what steps I can take to be considered for advancement. I asked and was told to constantly remind them of what I need, but I see others that started after me get promoted. Inclusivity would be greatly appreciated and deserved.

listening to employees, and constantly changing directions. people are stressed and there is no sense that there is a direction.

We don't all have a chance at advancement unless you know the right people. Positions don't get posted for us to appoly, but somehow promotions and vacancies are fill simutaneously. Sweetwater is sweet to the customers, but not so sweet to the employees.

Consider yearly raises larger than 40 cents. Allow us to work from home when we're sick to not encourage - no, require people to come into the office and spread sickness when we all work in cubicles near 4-10 other people all day long.

There are constant changes that benifit the company and not the employee. Structural changes need to be mode give and take, and not just take.

We are seeing annual reviews and pay adjustments. While many of my friends are seeing large increases in benefits, our have stayed virtually flat the past several years.

I don't know that I necessarily feel undervalued at Sweetwater. I think I am valued, as a person, but I think Sweetwater is notorious for underpaying employees.

Compensation could be better, but it is fair.

Revisión Review del Departamento de Ventas · Publicado hace un año

I have been with the company a little over a year and have consistently demonstrated dedication, strong performance, and commitment to my role. However, I have notices that others who joined after me have been promoted, and I was told it was because I didnt constantly remind them.

I feel like I do a lot of things that are outside of my role because they are the right thing to do, but it isn't always acknowledged. I am not miserable but I think I offer a lot.

Revisión Review del Departamento de Ventas · Publicado hace un año

Management gaslights about industry compensations vs other industries. Size and scope of work are not taken into consideration. There needs to be a realignment with what inustries are paying for the same job title and scope of work. promotions and advancement is lacking.

Ive notices some dynamics that make collaboration feel a bit less open and inclusive. There are constant rolling of eyes at me, passive aggression, and cliques that exclude those with melanin.

Most of the teamt that was recruited by Jordan Bridges have no sense of team. Their is a lack of unity that keeps us from being at the level we were at before.

There is a severe lack of privacy among the workspace. Additionally, as a non-musician working at a music company, I often feel left out (I guess that might be my own fault)

Again, everyone is very hard working and for the most part, self policing. Managers really don't need to micro-manage.

Not culture, but I would encourage Sweetwater to continue looking at time off policy. Overall the benefits package is solid, but that is an opportunity for improvement. The culture is solid. I would say that while we say we communicate well, there are pockets within the company where that's not true

Response from Sweetwater

While there is still more work to do, we're making positive strides. Across Sweetwater, we hired 346 females last year. 75 females earned promotions. We have numerous females in VP and higher positions. Keep adding your voice! - Jeff Ostermann, CPO

Listen to employees. There is one set of rules for managers and a different set for the rest of us. Senior managers are all conservative white men. There is no diversity, no representation, no encouragement or promotions for women or minorities.

Response from Sweetwater

I'm sad to hear your view on this. 75 females earned promotions last year. We have numerous females and people of color in management and higher-level positions. We keep working hard in this area and won't let up. - Jeff Ostermann, CPO

Open to questions and my schedule - I wasn't able to start the job at the time they wanted me to and they were immediately flexible. Great first impression. They were welcoming and very straightforward with every test/role play

Management doesn't listen and have poor leadership skills. Watching people fail yet get promoted while those that do the job perfect get stuck cause they are good is depressing. I don't get regular one-on-ones, so there is no developing happening to help me grow.

Sales is favored above all, regardless of how much other departments contribute to customer retention. Sales is able to get vendor perks, free merchandise, contests and giveaways while tech support exists so they don't have to put any work in beyond making the money.
