This year, 2020, has been a challenging year for our industry, with many musicians and touring pros finding themselves sidelined. We’re looking for passionate music makers, live sound pros, and audio engineers who have been impacted by the closure of venues and who are looking to continue their careers at the fastest-growing company in the music industry. There are over 70 fantastic career opportunities available at Sweetwater right now from service to sales and everything in-between, so there’s something for everyone! You may already know that Sweetwater is America’s #1 online retailer of music instruments and pro audio, but let’s explore some of the other great things that make Sweetwater such an amazing place for musicians just like you to find a dream career in music.
Passionate Culture
When you’re at Sweetwater, you’re surrounded by a group of passionate, like-minded music makers bonded by a shared commitment to going above and beyond for our customers and a common belief in the power of music. Every day, we have the honor and privilege of helping music makers live their music dreams, whether that happens on the stage, in the studio, or in the living room.
Cutting-Edge Campus
Our campus is a musician’s paradise! From our retail store with access to the largest on-site inventory of any music retailer in the country to our made-from-scratch diner offerings to the Wavelengths Salon and Spa or the free Sweetwater medical clinic with an on-staff doctor, our campus and amenities are thoughtfully designed to provide our employees and visitors the best experience possible. If you have a few minutes for a break, we highly recommend heading to the ridiculously well-stocked campus Music Store to jam on a Gibson Custom Shop Les Paul or a Moog One 16-voice analog synth.
Growth and Leadership Opportunity
Sweetwater’s consistent year-over-year growth is rooted in the continued development and encouragement of its employees. Here, everyone is challenged to grow and reach their full potential. Our commitment to the professional and personal development of our employees has led to the creation of many learning opportunities, including our 13-week, full-time Sweetwater University immersion program for new Sales Engineers, the SweetLeaders online resource center, and the SweetLeaders and SweetGeeks Speak lunch sessions.
Amazing Perks and Benefits
In addition to health and dental insurance, profit sharing, retirement benefits, and paid time off, Sweetwater offers some great perks and benefits that you’d be hard-pressed to find on another company campus, including live music performances, both a full-service restaurant and coffee shop, free consultations with legal and health professionals, an on-site gym with access to free personal training, and — for all the fellow gearheads out there — instruments and gear available for employee purchase at cost!
Big-City Feel, Small-Town Cost
Fort Wayne is Indiana’s second-largest city and has big-city vibes with an incredibly low cost of living. Thanks to the continued growth of Sweetwater and its passionate core of musician-employees, opportunities to collaborate, join bands, record, and play music in Indiana’s Summit City are plentiful, to say the least! Our bustling downtown core is constantly growing, thanks to public amenities like one of the country’s best riverfront parks, Promenade Park, and one of the best minor-league baseball stadiums in the US, Parkview Field. Whether you’re ready for the nightlife or looking for a place to raise your family, Fort Wayne is a great place to call “home.” Come join our growing community of thousands of passionate musicians just like you.
