Pros

- Iconic, Made in the USA brand. - Talented, passionate employees. - Employee discounts on instruments. - Professional, well-run back-office.

Cons

- TPG venture capitalists have charted an uncertain future, banking on monetizing "digital" which they have yet to clearly define. - Disregard for the depth of talent and commitment of long-time employees. - Average pay with minimal to no merit increases - Spotty record of short term rewards - Long-term rewards (options) have been and will continue to be worth less then the paper they are printed on.
