Pros

50% Employee Discount after 90 days of employment.

Cons

-Very short and narrow ladders, so not much room for career growth. -No sick days -Start with 18 days "vacation" but they are really sick days as well -Not many company holidays, since this is a Swiss company, you only get Thanksgiving and Christmas off. -Swatch Group US does not encourage innovation, they merely do everything that Swiss Headquarters say. -Be careful, no one is truly your friend in Swatch Group..It's everyone for themselves. (Managers especially) -Pay is not competitive with market. -Work hours is 9AM-6PM (Lunch does not count as part of your 8 hours at work.

Pros

Literally no pros to working here.

Cons

Managers made it very uncomfortable to work at the store on a daily basis. There was favoritism to specific associates and I was target a lot in a negative light. Plus the pay is literally minimum wage. I can go on but I have no time for that.
