Business Outlook

Pros

They send you on a useless sales trip to Miami or Vegas

Cons

Horrifically unorganized corporate leaders, especially District Management. Terrible work life balance. This stems from loss of profits across the board in the company and has led to increased pressure on store mgmt.

Business Outlook

Pros

Being a large global group there is much to take in from all the different global experiences. The brands are quite respected in the watch industry and there is definitely a wind of change in the air that is unfortunately materializing not soon enough

Cons

There is a lot of reaction instead of proaction around the workplace. At times top management seems to be out of tune with the local markets and some project delay timelines are enough to slowly suck the motivation out of you.
