Vantaggi
Fender is an American Icon and one of the better companies to work for in the MI industry. The products are timeless and the company is filled with talented people who love what they do.
Svantaggi
The "House of Brands" is really a "House of Cards." TPG now controls 51% of this financially unstable company and will continue to bleed them out. Upper and executive management are long in the tooth and responsible for many of the financial issues coming to light now. The CEO will soon be replaced. It's a shame because he could have been a great leader for Fender. The last few years consisted of questionable executive management hires and not fixing the company's financial issues and infrastructure. Too much playing God in the marketing department and running other departments ragged catering to self-serving whims.
