Swatch - A Complete Managerial Disaster and a Mess of a Company

Marketing/sales management

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The management of the company on a retail, regional and corporate level provides rich material for a comedian or a management consultant. I have worked for some troubled companies but Swatch is in a class of its own.

Cons

Swatch is a poorly organized company. The quality of management is unbelievably bad. The people in charge of promotional events finished strong as the biggest joke in the Swatch organization. I would never return to Swatch. Pay and benefits are are rock bottom.
