Literally none, there is no benefit to working here. They dont want you here long term.

Cons

Terrible work environment, horrible company culture, underpaid, overworked. I worked at Sweetwater for over 4 years and MF is not even a competitor.

Pros

Most coworkers, including management are fun to work with. Employee discount is great. Work from home.

Cons

Extremely outdated systems. Stingy PTO. Work almost every holiday but Christmas. Laying off qualified employees immediately after unrolling new AI programs. Management roles are attainable, but there are virtually zero opportunities to grow above lower management. Many managers have been stuck in the same role for over 10 years.
