Death of a great place to work

Pros

Once upon a time Musician's Friend was a great place to work. It was a growing company with opportunity for anyone that wanted to work for it. There are employees working here that have been doing so for eighteen years because of it. The people that work here are friendly and fun. The work is challenging, but in the past it was rewarding as well.

Cons

The new style of management that has been brought on by Bain Capital seems to only enhance the arrogance of the narcissistic tyrant I have been forced to work for. Bain seems to think Musician's Friend is competing with Amazon.com. Musician's Friend simply isn't capable of competing on such a scale. Bain has announced that the company will move from Medford to Los Angeles, and now they have frozen the hiring. The workload that was once challenging and rewarding is now crushing the remaining staff that are desperately working on their Linkedin accounts and resumes looking for a job.

Pros

There are a great group of staff and was a fun work environment to be around versus other boring jobs.

Cons

The pay wasn't the best. I didn't see much opportunity to move up in the company without moving to a new state.
