Don't work here

Anonymous employee

Pros

- if you don't want to grow your career work here.

Cons

- you don't matter as an a person here - your options will never be listened too. - Switzerland is where this company is based out of. They don't want to work with you, they just want you to do what you are told and not have an option - we were given 3 extra PTO days, then had them taken away for no reason - all promise but no actions on positive change

Company that doesn't care about employees

Sales associate

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

You get a decent wage as either full time or part time. Nice and easy hour, laid back work enviroment because we rarely get customers on weekdays so you just talk to your coworkers.

Cons

The company doesn't care about it's employees. I had my store manager literally tell me that he doesn't care about any of us as people and all that he cares about is that the store is making money. The DM is also the same, she fired ~5 people at another location on the same day because she didn't see them fit at Swatch. At my store, an employee that has been with us for 5 years and they wanted to get rid of her but couldnt find a reason to. We were short one night on the register by less than a dollar and she was fired immediately. My store manager also got mad at me for being available for only 3-4 days a week because I'm a college student.

Pros

Nice discount and FT benefits

Cons

The most powerful watch brands in the world equals low pay and terrible corporate management. Disrespectcful, ungrateful, and manipulative. Little to no growth from within. They tout hiring from within but give you a litany of phony excuses not to. .
