Great people, but multiple challenges to overcome

Business Outlook

Pros

Great people and some very interesting work, but the structural changes in the marketplace for musical instruments and changing tastes, coupled with financial engineering issues and multiple reorganizations made for a challenging environment.

Cons

New VC ownership was imprinting their mark on the company when I left and the structural changes in the MI marketplace made for a very challenging environment. The success of Sweetwater, the rise of Amazon and vendors adopting a direct to consumer selling model created battles to be fought on multiple fronts. Management was caught flat footed and internal inefficiencies that should have been addressed during the Great Recession left MF exposed to mutiple competitive threats.

Pros

Learn office experience, learn customer service, expand you business mindset. Also if you're a musician it's pretty sweet to get some free gear!

Cons

Occasionally there are some strict policies to adhere to. Once you get to supervisor level there's not much room to move up. Annual increases are fairly small
