First, I must make the point that I worked in retail for Swatch. I was the one making and closing potential sales. Retail jobs can be boring. However, I never found that to be the case. The store and company is constantly changing in order to provide such a positive and fun experience not only for the employees but also for the customers. With this being said, I believe that management was not as knowledgeable as they could be in terms of employee management and employee advancement. Like any company, there will always be room for improvement.

Pros

Good wage, commission, breaks, convienent location

Cons

Employee advancement

Ambiente lavorativo

Il training prima di iniziare a lavorare in store aiuta ad ambientarti con il prodotto che è molto importante per capire con cosa hai a che fare e cos’è l’obiettivo del brand.

Pros

Buona Pasto

Awesome team

Key Holder/Sales Associate (Current Employee) - Roosevelt, NY - December 30, 2019

Never worked for retail that had commission, but this company gives a total sense of how to achieve your goal daily and encourage as well. Amazing with shifts hours and totally respect people life style as well.

Immature staff that loves to gossip

Key Holder Manager (Former Employee) - Central Valley, NY - December 12, 2019

I guess gossiping is part of the training at Swatch cause most of what was told to me during my time there had to do with how bad other team members were. Got yelled at for having my phone out in front of a customer who was being helped by someone else, but yet it was ok for others to do it, even the store manager who did so multiple times. And that was just within the first couple days of me working there. This place will make you feel like you’re back in high school or junior high.

Classic Corporate

Operations Manager (Current Employee) - Miami, FL - December 6, 2019

The people in the specific brand makes it or breaks it. The day to day is in line with the normal classic retail corporate ideology. Change and evolving is not really part of the DNA here and majority of tasks are manual still when there are companies moving ahead with systematic upgrades to improve their business. The want to improve is there but not everyone is on the same page.

Productive and fun work place

Sales Person (Former Employee) - Seine-et-Marne - December 2, 2019

This was my first experience as a sales assistant and I don't regret working for Swatch. The manager was the greatest. A lot of rules concerning customer service but once you get them, it becomes easier.

Schlechter Platz

Verkäuferin (Former Employee) - Mendrisio, TI - November 13, 2019

Lavorare per questo marchio in questo shop ti impone di rinunciare ai tuoi valori morali. Cercano automi che possono dire sempre e solo di sì con manager con chiaro problemi di gestione del personale e che per di più non ha mai svolto test per management.Purtroppo la struttura interna non è professionale ,in questo shop la vita diventa difficile e problematica,un team pieno di tensione portato quasi ad accusarsi l’un l’altro per non perdere il lavoro.Aber la cosa più agghiacciante è che purtroppo qualcuno permette che questo accada. Non esiste professionalità

Ambiente di favoritismi.

addetta alle pulizie (Former Employee) - Distretto di Mendrisio, TI - October 29, 2019

Scarsa attenzione alla persona, o meglio, se non rientri nelle grazie di un superiore, non fai carriera, le tue idee non vengono nemmeno tenute in considerazione, in particolar modo quelle proposte di migliorare per tutti l ambiente di lavoro, è cosa impossibile. Ogni proposta innocativa è come una sfida continua a dimostrare che sei meglio degli altri. L espressione della propria individualità, non è per tutti, anzi se non ti adegui al sistema, sei costantemente stallkerizzato in tutti i modi; l essere bravo sul lavoro non è sinonimo di rispetto e giusta considerazione.

Pros

Paga

Cons

Ipocrisia.

Pros

可能會令部分同事不滿，覺得不太合適
