Pros
I've been with Mason Music for years and have had the opportunity to watch the company grow and evolve over time. In my experience, it continues to improve year after year. The team is made up of kind and hardworking individuals - teachers, administrators, etc. - who create a fun work environment. I've met a lot of good people over the years. My role allows me to interact with our CEO on a regular basis. He is deeply invested in the team and plays a very active role in the day-to-day operations. He is highly hands-on and genuinely cares about both the staff and the overall culture of the organization. Feedback is regularly asked for from the team, even when he knows a decision or change might be unpopular. He never shies away from the truth about how people on the team feel and he always considers all perspectives. Mason Music also just has an awesome group of customers and students that help make up the community that we all get the interact with on a regular basis.
Cons
As a small business, Mason Music continues to evolve and adapt in pursuit of greater efficiency and long-term success. With growth inevitably comes change, and while I believe these changes are ultimately necessary and positive, not everyone shares that perspective all the time. This has occasionally led to some turnover or discontent within the team. However, a core team has remained committed and focused over the years which I believe has strengthened the company and contributed to making it an even better place to work over time. I think it will continue to get better and better.
